  • Life as a Trust Game: a comment on The Option Value of Life

  • Gregory Ponthiere
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    12 April 2021, pp. 300-308

  • According to Burri (2020), a major reason why suicide is often irrational lies in the option value of life. Remaining alive is valuable because this allows for a larger menu of options, and the possibility of committing suicide in the future adds further value to the act of remaining alive now. In this note, I represent life as a trust game played by two selves – the young self and the old self – and I argue that the possibility to commit suicide in the future can encourage committing suicide now, against what the theory of the option value of life predicts.
