During the interview with David Laibson, I would have asked how exactly the psychological weight in determining present bias can be reduced into numerical terms, and how accurate it could be at predicting one's behavior when behavior doesn't lend itself in quantifiable ways. I would have also asked if this present bias could be better applied to predict the decisions of an aggregate group of people than a single individual, whose behavior could be an outlier to the general rule.
