During my fourth semester of studying political science at the University of Zurich, I attended a Public Choice seminar titled "Risk Preferences and Economic Development", which was run by Philipp Kerler. One of the many topics we touched upon was time discounting, which I was immediately interested in because of its importance in the context of longtermism, so I picked time discounting as topic for the research proposal we had to write.
This is the link to my first research proposal in political science: Surveying Pure Time Preference among the Swiss Electorate for Intergenerational Social Cost Benefit Analysis
