Article Title:Explicit characterizations of financial prices with history-dependent utility

Abstract:
The present paper demonstrates how explicit representations of financial prices and returns can be derived in economies with history-dependent utility. While the techniques are applicable to a wide range of economies, they are applied to a representative consumer economy where (i) the consumer's preferences exhibit habit formation, and (ii) purchases of the consumption good also gives rise to a flow of services. Solutions are computed for the case of multiplicative or nonlinear habit formation, and additive service flows. Other applications are also indicated. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
