The authors propose a strategy of identifying discount rates. We find that the estimated discount rate corresponds to a weekly discount factor (0.90), lower than the value typically assumed in empirical research (0.995). When using a standard 0.995 discount factor, we find the price coefficient is underestimated by 16%.

The concavity of the line before exceeding the quota suggests that people decelerate usage as they approach the quota; that is, they begin to ration their minutes to avoid overage. Moreover, those who are far from the quota appear that discount rates vary considerably across studies. The mean weekly discount factor is 0.979 with a standard deviation of 0.034. The corresponding weekly discount rates aver-age 2.25% with a large standard deviation of 3.76%. In short, there is no clear consensus regarding the value of discount factors, partially due to the fact that discount rates are typicallynotidentified.
