We develop a theoretical model in which EGB causes consumers to mis-perceive the budget constraint. Because consumers dynamically mis-perceive prices, consumers will over-consume early in their lifecycle if the elasticity of intertemporal substitution is sufficiently large. This over-consumption is exacerbated when income is received later in the lifecycle, as biased agents will additionally mis-perceive the present value of their earnings. <strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/cascade.chapman.edu\/render\/file.act?path=\/research-and-institutions\/economic-science-institute\/_files\/ifree-papers-and-photos\/josh-tasoff-2012.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Joshua Tasoff, a guest of the IFREE\/ESI Lecture Series\" width=\"102\" height=\"119\" \/><\/strong>These effects can lead to over-indebtedness both for early consumption and for over-investment in human capital. Finally, we show that EGB leads to a form of dynamic inconsistency in which planned future consumption increases when the agent\u2019s asset balance is positive and decreases when the balance is negative. This inconsistency can lead to significant welfare losses if the consumers are able to commit lower bounds on future consumption, such as consumption commitments in housing \u2013 commitment which other forms of dynamic inconsistency, such as present-biased preferences, would predict to be welfare-enhancing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio:<\/strong> Josh Tasoff received his bachelor&#8217;s degree in
