Synopsis

Master optimal decisions about spending and investing with a durable twist. This rigorous guide shows how to model consumption and portfolio choices when goods last over time and habits shape our preferences. With clear math and practical steps, you’ll learn to translate theory into workable rules for real markets.

This edition blends theory with numerical methods, offering a concrete path from continuous-time models to discrete, computable schemes. It emphasizes how durability and habit formation change the value of wealth, and it explains how the equilibrium risk premium in a financial market can vary over time and state. While the material is technical, the presentation builds from foundational ideas to implementable algorithms and insights.


  • How to set up dynamic optimization problems that include durable goods and habit effects.

  • Numerical schemes that approximate continuous models with Markov chains and finite differences.

  • Conditions under which investment and consumption policies converge to their optimal forms.

  • Interpretations of risk premium dynamics when durability and habits influence decisions.



Ideal for readers with a head for math who want to connect economic theory to practical, computable rules for consumption and investment in markets influenced by durability and habit formation.
