''On the design of an optimal transfer schedule with time inconsistent preferences'' |
( 2008, Vol. 8 No.5 ) |
|
|
This paper incorporates the phenomenon of time inconsistency into the problem of designing an optimal transfer schedule under income shocks and asymmetric information. The optimal solution reflects the dilemma that a principal has to face when playing the roles of self-control enforcer and consumption smoother simultaneously. |
