Talk:Discount rate

Untitled
I have changed this page into a disambiguation page because the number of cases of "for this... see this" at the top was getting silly.--greenrd (talk) 23:51, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Public sector and engineering economics... Suggestion
In public sector and engineering economics, a discount rate actually represents society’s preference between the value of consumption today and consumption in the future— in other words, a social time preference rate, or Social discount rate (SDR). I will be editing this into the disamb page. Cheers Risk Engineer (talk) 16:22, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

This page is needed, not merely as a disambiguation page
The discount rate is an important concept in economics and deserves a proper page. The previous versions of the page have included various special cases, and it would be reasonable to link to them. The discount rate, in general, is the rate at which money in the future is considered worth less than money currently, and most of the links in the history of this page as a disambiguation page have referred to methods for calculating this. 86.142.19.35 (talk) 03:34, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
