Demonstrating discount rates with a reverse auction of presentation dates part of Starting Point: Teaching and Learning Economics:Teaching Methods:Classroom Experiments:Examples
In this reverse auction of assignment delivery dates, student groups submit their "offers" for taking different dates. The groups complete an exercise using their offers to calculate a simple discount rate for future effort, which can be tied to a discussion of the economics of climate change.
