Being serious about non-commitment: subgame perfect equilibrium in continuous time
read the original abstract
This paper characterizes differentiable subgame perfect equilibria in a continuous time intertemporal decision optimization problem with non-constant discounting. The equilibrium equation takes two different forms, one of which is reminescent of the classical Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation of optimal control, but with a non-local term. We give a local existence result, and several examples in the consumption saving problem. The analysis is then applied to suggest that non constant discount rates generate an indeterminacy of the steady state in the Ramsey growth model. Despite its indeterminacy, the steady state level is robust to small deviations from constant discount rates.

Mean-field game of mean-variance portfolio optimization with peer-based risk aversion
A mean-field equilibrium exists for a mean-variance portfolio game in which each agent's risk aversion switches discontinuously as wealth crosses the population average.

Beyond the Bellman Recursion: A Pontryagin-Guided Framework for Non-Exponential Discounting
PG-DPO is a new variational framework that replaces Bellman recursion with a Pontryagin-guided adjoint-MC projection for RL under non-exponential discounting and shows gains on hyperbolic and survival benchmarks.

A Tractable Continuous-Time Model for Designing Interventions for Time-Inconsistent Agents
Under generalized hyperbolic discounting, naive continuous-time progress agents have closed-form trajectories; equal time/reward splits are optimal and finer splitting raises progress to a discount-independent bound.
