This paper develops a framework to study general equilibrium implications for an economy in which agents are allowed to have dynamically inconsistent time and risk preferences. This framework accommodates, but is not limited to, the following settings: (1) non-exponential discounting; (2)...

This paper presents a simple Ramsey-type model example where two infinitely-living agents have same utility function except for time preference, and shows that equilibrium is indeterminate that is to be interpreted as being non-existent. The issues regarding New Keynesian transversality...

In this paper, we analyse a continuous time version of Fish Wars with the infinite time horizon and state dependent constraints on controls. We calculate the social optimum and a Nash equilibrium which always leads to the depletion of the resource even if the social optimum results in the...

Competition between political parties is a process that unfolds over time whereas formal theories of party competition have tended to take an essentially static, or one-shot, approach. This leaves some gaps in our understanding of the dynamics of campaigning. The aim of this paper is to make up...

In this paper, which is a continuation of a previous discrete time paper, we develop a theory for continuous time stochastic control problems which, in various ways, are time inconsistent in the sense that they do not admit a Bellman optimality principle. We study these problems within a game...

In this paper we do a comprehensive analysis of the model of oligopoly with sticky prices with full analysis of behaviour of prices outside its steady state level in the infinite horizon case. An exhaustive proof of optimality is presented in both open loop and closed loop cases

Innovations in consumer products frequently rely on technological advances across multiple tiers in a supply chain. Considering the consumer market demand and downstream investment conditions as input, we model a game in a two-tier supply chain where downstream firms choose to adopt different...

This work is based on a differential game proposed by Kelvin Lancaster. The game between two agents called workers and capitalists is based on the accumulation and redistribution of benefits among social classes concluding that cooperative outcomes outperform non-cooperative. This approach...

Given an arbitrary black-box strategy for the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma game, it is often difficult to gauge to which extent it can be exploited by other strategies. In the presence of imperfect public monitoring and resulting observation errors, deriving a theoretical solution is even more...

In this paper we consider the discounted linear quadratic differential game for descriptor systems that have an index larger than one. We derive both necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of an open-loop Nash (OLN) equilibrium. In a small macro-economic stabilization game we...
