Por esto, varios economistas han propuesto lo que se conoce como sesgo al presente. El sesgo al presente significa que un bien se vuelve más tentador cuando está en el presente que cuando está en el futuro. Sin embargo, hay otros aspectos que incrementan la tentación de algo que nos gusta. Por ejemplo, un bien que está físicamente cercano a nosotros es más tentador que cuando está alejado. La teoría psicológica que se conoce como &#8220;distancia psicológica&#8221; asume que los individuos le damos mayor importancia a lo que percibimos más cercano a nosotros (al presente le damos mayor importancia por su cercanía en distancia temporal). En este artículo generalizamos el concepto de sesgo al presente para incluir otras dimensiones de la distancia psicológica. Se propone un modelo en que los individuos le damos mayor importancia no solamente a los bienes que están cercanos en el tiempo, sino a los que están cercanos, por ejemplo en distancia espacial. Esto le permite a los individuos controlar el sesgo al presente al alejar o acercar alguna tentación en alguna distancia psicológica diferente a la distancia temporal.]]></p></abstract>

However, we give more importance not only to the present, but to what we perceive as closer to us. In this article we generalize the concept of present-bias to include what it is known as &#8220;psychological distances.&#8221; Psychological distances include temporal and spatial distances. We propose a model in which individuals give more importance not only to what is closer in temporal distance, but to what is closer, for example, in spatial distance. This allows individuals to control their present-bias by moving closer to or away from temptations in any psychological distances other than the temporal distance.]]></p></abstract>
