Abstract	To avoid the possibility of experimenter demand effects, we are not disclosing further information about the study until data collection is complete.	It is often argued that payday lending regulations can increase welfare, because people with self-control problems might borrow more than they expect or would like to in the long run. To test this, we ran a field experiment with a large payday lender to elicit borrowers' predictions of their future borrowing and willingness-to-pay for an incentive to avoid future borrowing. We combine the experimental results with a novel sufficient statistic-based approach to estimate a model of partially naive present focus.
