Author(s)	Bryan A Jones Howard Rachlin
Abstract	The amount of money a person was willing to forgo in order to give $75 to another person decreased as a hyperbolic function of the perceived social distance between them. Similar hyperbolic functions have previously been shown to describe both time and probability discounting.
