Resource scarcity and food security are important issues due to overexploitation of natural resources. Fishing and farming have been two main occupations that produce food; however, their production modes are distinct in that fishermen (farmers) harvest (cultivate, grow, and harvest). It is hypothesized that such differences in production modes characterize their time preferences and discounting behaviors. We have conducted a discounting elicitation experiment for fishermen and farmers in Indonesia. The statistical analysis shows that fishermen are much more shortsighted than farmers, implying that fishermen should be encouraged to nurture a culture of cultivating and growing for sustainability of fish stock.

食品生产者的时间偏好：“培育和成长”重要吗？

由于过度开发自然资源，资源稀缺和粮食安全是重要问题。渔业和农业是生产食物的两个主要职业；然而，它们的生产方式不同，渔民（农民）收获（耕种、种植和收获）。假设生产模式的这种差异表征了他们的时间偏好和贴现行为。我们为印度尼西亚的渔民和农民进行了折扣诱导实验。统计分析表明，渔民远比农民短视，这意味着应鼓励渔民培育养殖和生长的文化，以实现鱼类种群的可持续性。(JEL Q18, Q22)
