“…These stylized facts include the equity premium puzzle (Abel, 1990;Constantinides, 1990), the excess volatility of the current account , the risk-free rate and predictability of excess returns puzzles (Campbell & Cochrane, 1999), the positive effect of growth on saving (Carroll et al, 2000), inflation dynamics , and the happiness puzzle (Choudhary et al, 2012). Consequently, habit formation has become a key ingredient of the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models employed by many central banks as a supportive tool for monetary-policy decisions.…”

“…The proposition is a striking and relatively novel implication of the mechanism. The impact of various forms of habit formation on growth in the context of endogenous growth models was explored in a number of papers (Carroll et al, 1997(Carroll et al, , 2000Choudhary et al, 2012). Specifically, in the latter paper, they obtain a similar result.…”

“… Formulations in which rivalry plays a formal role in sustaining growth appear still relatively rare in the literature, see Choudhary et al . (). Smith discusses men's drive for wealth as reflecting need for status several times in Moral Sentiments (e.g., I.iii.2.1, VI.1.11). …”

“…Por otra parte, un grupo de autores se centra más en identificar cuáles son los determinantes de la felicidad, sin hacer comparaciones con el método tradicional, más bien justificando su posición desde una base histó-rica, filosófica y sociológica. Al respecto, variables como la formación de hábitos y relaciones interpersonales se capturan mediante funciones de utilidad (Choudhary et al, 2012;Cyert y Degroot, 1975). En esta área, la autodeterminación en los niveles de felicidad capturados por medio de las entrevistas que formulan los investigadores, desmienten prototipos negativos que relacionan, por ejemplo, a los menos felices con situaciones de pobreza.…”

“…Se trata aquí de modelos teóricos que, basados en supuestos sobre las preferencias de los individuos (metodología que comparte con el enfoque de maximización de la utilidad) pretenden ser un puente entre la teoría, la investigación empírica y la polí-tica social (Choudhary et al, 2012). Estos modelos surgen a partir de la modelación de ecuaciones basadas en comportamientos a nivel microeconómico, definición de funciones a fin de representar los hábitos comportamentales, maximizar funciones de utilidad para representar el bienestar, entre otros.…”
