Modeling Luxury Consumption: An Inter-Income Classes Study of Demand Dynamics and Social Behaviors
International audience We start from the observation that theoretical studies of luxury consumption are relatively rare in the economic analysis. In fact, while homothetic preferences simply cannot address the issue of luxury consumption, the use of non-homothetic preferences is restricted, at least...
