Individuals frequently place a higher value on money and goods today than they would in the future. This is known as temporal or time discounting, and most economic models include discount functions to represent such utility over time. In this paper, we evaluated traditional models with experimental data from the scientific literature and constructed our own samples for comparison. In addition, we evaluated the prediction accuracy of the models and proposed new hybrid solutions. Our investigation aims to contribute to a better understanding of human nature in complex processes.

Keywords and phrases: economics, temporal discounting, intertemporal decisions.
