Efficiency and equilibrium when preferences are time-inconsistent
We consider an exchange economy with time-inconsistent consumers whose preferences are additively separable. When these consumers trade in a sequence of markets, their time-inconsistency may introduce a non-convexity that gives them an incentive to trade lotteries. If there are many consumers, competitive equilibria with and without lotteries exist. The existence of symmetric equilibria may req...
متن کاملA ug 2 00 8 Equilibrium policies when preferences are time inconsistent
This paper characterizes differentiable and subgame Markov perfect equilibria in a continuous time intertemporal decision problem with non-constant discounting. Capturing the idea of non commitment by letting the commitment period being infinitesimally small, we characterize the equilibrium strategies by a value function, which must satisfy a certain equation. The equilibrium equation is remini...
متن کاملNonparametric Analysis of Time-Inconsistent Preferences
This paper provides a revealed preference characterisation of quasi-hyperbolic discounting which is designed to be applied to readily-available expenditure surveys. We describe necessary and sufficient conditions for the leading forms of the model and also explore the consequences the restrictions on preferences popularly used in empirical lifecycle consumption models. Using data from a househo...
متن کاملTime-inconsistent Risk Preferences in a Laboratory Experiment
We conducted an experiment to explore the time-consistency of risk preferences in a multi-period betting game. Specifically, subjects planned their contingent betting decisions in advance then played the game dynamically later to determine whether their respective decisions matched. We found that subjects took more risk than planned in their initial bet and after losses. In addition, this incre...

We study the stabilitywith respect to the introduction of opportunitybased inequity aversion a la Dufwenberg et al. (2011) of three welfare properties satisfiedbycompetitive equilibria in self-regarding economies: (i) Pareto efficiencymay not be a stable property; (ii) undomination with respect to income redistribution is a stablepropertywhenever themarginal indirect utility of income has no ex...
