Add to ORKGA dynamically inconsistent decision maker may deviate from her plan of action as the future draws near. An exponential discounter may do exactly the same when facing an uncertain future. Through an experiment we elicit preferences for pre-commitment and flexibility to help disentangle these two classes of explanations for choice reversal over time. Evidence of widespread commitment favors a preference-based explanation over an uncertainty-based one
