A note on fashion cycles, novelty and conformity

Federica Alberti

No 2013-019, Jena Economics Research Papers from Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena

Abstract: We develop a model in which novelty and conformity motivate fashion behavior.Fashion cycles occur if conformity is not too high. The duration of fashion cycles depends on individual-specific conformity, novelty, and the number of available styles. The use of individual-specific novelty and conformity allows us to also identify fashion leaders.
