Bad Habits and the Endogenous Timing of Urges
提出有害成瘾理论，认为屈服于冲动会短期延迟但长期增加冲动频率，预测消费频率、水平、线索依赖和时间一致性在习惯化中的演变，并讨论消费和营销限制的福利含义。
I present a theory of harmful addiction in which “giving in” to an unwanted urge ($i.e.$ consumption) delays the recurrence of urges in the short-run, but increases their long-run frequency. The theory offers new predictions as to how the frequency, levels, cue-dependence, and temporal consistency of consumption evolve during habituation, while uniquely capturing near-term substitution in demand across time. New welfare implications for restrictions on consumption and on marketing are also addressed.
