Present-Biased Lobbyists in Linear Quadratic Stochastic Differential Games
Ali Lazrak, Hanxiao Wang, Jiongmin Yong
We investigate a linear quadratic stochastic zero-sum game where two players lobby a political representative to invest in a wind turbine farm. Players are time-inconsistent becaus…
Unlocking Democratic Efficiency: How Coordinated Outcome-Contingent Promises Shape Decisions
Ali Lazrak, Jianfeng Zhang
We consider a committee voting on whether to adopt a reform under a quota rule, where members differ in how much they value the reform some supporting it, others opposing it. We ex…
Equilibrium policies when preferences are time inconsistent
Ivar Ekeland, Ali Lazrak
This paper characterizes differentiable and subgame Markov perfect equilibria in a continuous time intertemporal decision problem with non-constant discounting. Capturing the idea…
Being serious about non-commitment: subgame perfect equilibrium in continuous time
Ivar Ekeland, Ali Lazrak
This paper characterizes differentiable subgame perfect equilibria in a continuous time intertemporal decision optimization problem with non-constant discounting. The equilibrium e…
Generalized stochastic differential utility and preference for information
Ali Lazrak
This paper develops, in a Brownian information setting, an approach for analyzing the preference for information, a question that motivates the stochastic differential utility (SDU…
