On durability of consumer goods Ranade, Ravindra Raghunath ラナデ, ラヴィンドラ ラグナット Ranade, Ravindra Raghunath This paper considers a model of durable consumer good. It is assumed to have a life of new and old. The consumer decides what is the optimal time for enjoying the novelty. The monopolist choice is to select the durability of the good to maximize profits and quote the price of the good. It is pointed out that the optimal durability can not be an interior solution as claimed in some of the recent works on the subjects. The reasons for this and some conjectures are spelt out. departmental bulletin paper 香川大学経済研究所 Economic Society, Kagawa University 2000-09-01 VoR application/pdf 香川大学経済論叢 2 73 357 367 Kagawa University economic review AN00038281 0389-3030 https://kagawa-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/6348/files/AN00038281_073-2_L099.pdf https://kagawa-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/6348 eng 110000134102 open access
