''Consumption function: nondurable and durable goods''
( 2022, Vol. 42 No.2 )
 
 
Modeling the consumption of nondurable and durable goods separately is equivalent to assuming that consumers` resources exclusively finance one category of goods. To overcome this problem, I modelled these decisions jointly. Not by chance, the new consumption functions for nondurable and durable goods depend not only on consumers` resources, but also on the lagged stock of durable goods.
 
 
Keywords: Consumption function, nondurable goods, durable goods, consumption persistence
JEL: E2 - Macroeconomics: Consumption, Saving, Production, Employment, and Investment: General (includes Measurement and Data)
