Research Type Theoretical This paper explores the behavior of present-biased agents, that is, agents who erroneously anticipate the costs of future actions compared to their real costs. Specifically, the paper extends the original framework proposed by Akerlof (1991) for studying various aspects of human behavior related to time-inconsistent planning, including procrastination, and abandonment, as well as the elegant graph-theoretic model encapsulating this framework recently proposed by Kleinberg and Oren (2014).

Pseudocode No The paper describes the agent's planning in textual form (e.g., 'Minimization scenario: For k 0, given an instance Ik, the agent computes the feasible solution Sk with minimum cost cβ(Sk)...'), but does not include formal pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any statement or link regarding the release of open-source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets No The paper is theoretical and does not describe experiments using datasets.
Dataset Splits No The paper is theoretical and does not conduct experiments that would require training, validation, or test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical and does not report on experiments, so no hardware specifications are mentioned.
Software Dependencies No The paper is theoretical and does not conduct experiments, therefore no specific software dependencies with version numbers are mentioned.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical and does not conduct experiments, so no experimental setup details are provided.
