Abstract

A recent JBVi article suggests that impulsive behaviors ought to be understood as rational human action. My comment suggests that such a view is at odds with how impulsivity is commonly understood within other fields of research, within current psychology theorizing and among laymen. It is also at odds with theorizing and empirical findings regarding impulsivity in entrepreneurship.
