Optimal planning in habit formation models with multiple goods (2024)
Journal Article
Bambi, M., Ghilli, D., Gozzi, F., & Leocata, M. (online). Optimal planning in habit formation models with multiple goods. Decisions in Economics and Finance, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10203-024-00498-2

(Am Econ Rev 90(3):341–355, 2000) where on the contrary only one good is considered. Such a fa... Read More about Optimal planning in habit formation models with multiple goods.
