Revealed preferences for dynamically inconsistent models
We study the testable implications of models of dynamically inconsistent choices when planned choices are unobservable, and thus only "on path" data is available. First, we discuss the approach in Blow, Browning and Crawford (2021), who characterize first-order rationalizability of the model of quasi-hyperbolic discounting. We show that the first-order approach does not guarantee rationalizability by means of the quasi-hyperbolic model. This motivates consideration of an abstract model of intertemporal choice, under which we provide a characterization of different behavioral models -- including the naive and sophisticated paradigms of dynamically inconsistent choice.

Policy-regularized Offline Multi-objective Reinforcement Learning
In this paper, we aim to utilize only offline trajectory data to train a policy for multi-objective RL. We extend the offline policy-regularized method, a widely-adopted approach for single-objective offline RL problems,…

Recent work identifies a stated-revealed (SvR) preference gap in language models (LMs): a mismatch between the values models endorse and the choices they make in context. Existing evaluations rely heavily on binary force…
