In this paper, we study extended backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (EBSVIEs, for short). We establish the well-posedness under weaker assumptions than the literature, and prove a new kind of regularity property for the solutions. As an application, we investigate, in the open-loop framework, a time-inconsistent stochastic recursive control problem where the cost functional is defined by the solution to a backward stochastic Volterra integral equation (BSVIE, for short). We show that the corresponding adjoint equations become EBSVIEs, and provide a necessary and sufficient condition for an open-loop equilibrium control via variational methods.

Keywords: Extended backward stochastic Volterra integral equation, backward stochastic Volterra integral equation, time-inconsistent stochastic recursive control problem, open-loop equilibrium control.
