This talk will be the occasion to present recent progresses made on the treatment of continuous time contract theory, and more importantly to highlight several problems and areas where a general theory is still lacking. This includes notable adverse selection problems, time-inconsistent Agents, and general equilibrium issues between many Principals and many Agents. I will put forward the main difficulties encountered as well as possible approaches to tackle them.
