Abstract

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.
