Habit Persistence and Money in the Utility Function

Stéphane Auray, Patrick Fève and Fabrice Collard

Economics Bulletin, 2004, vol. 5, issue 10, 1-9

Abstract: The paper introduces habit persistence in consumption decisions in an infinitely-lived agents monetary model where money enters in the utility of the agent. In this case, we show that the equilibrium is saddle path whereas Auray, Collard and Fève [2004] showed that the interplay between habit persistence and cash-in-advance generates real indeterminacy. These two distinct but commonly used framework do not lead to the same dynamic properties, therefore.
