Dealing with Time Inconsistency: Inflation Targeting versus Exchange Rate Targeting
Abandoning an objective function with multiple targets and adopting single mandate can be an effective way for a central bank to overcome the classic time-inconsistency problem. We show that the choice of a particular single mandate depends on an economy’

Environmental Catastrophes under Time-Inconsistent Preferences [PDF]
Abstract I analyze optimal natural resource use in an intergenerational model with the risk of a catastrophe. Each generation maximizes a weighted sum of discounted utility (positive) and the probability that a catastrophe will occur at any point in the future (negative).
