Abstract: Abstract We now turn to the case of time-inconsistent stopping problems in continuous time. We start by formulating the problem and formally defining the continuous-time equilibrium concept. In order to derive the relevant extension of variational inequalities for the time-inconsistent problem, we discretize (to some extent) the continuous-time problem, use our previously derived results in discrete time, and then take the limit. We present a sketch of a verification argument establishing the connection between the extended dynamic programming system and our continuous-time equilibrium concept. Finally, we exemplify the theory with two examples of an asset-selling problem with non-exponential discounting and the mean-variance objective.
