The demand for durable goods is more cyclical than that for nondurable goods and services.

Using the benchmark input-output accounts of the National Income and Product Accounts, we construct portfolios of durablegood, nondurable-good, and service producers. In the cross-section, an inv...

The analysis finds that durable and storable expenditures surged in the month prior to the tax rate increase, fell sharply upon implementation, but quickly returned to their previous long-run levels. Non-storable non-durable ex...

OBJECTIVE—Bariatric surgery causes durable weight loss. Gut hormones are implicated in obesity pathogenesis, dietary failure, and mediating gastrointestinal bypass (GIBP) surgery weight loss. In mice, we determined the effects of diet-induced obesity (DIO), subsequent dieting, and GIBP surgery on ghrelin, peptide YY (PYY), and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). To evaluate PYY’s role in mediating...

Since that time the statute has been amended to provide for a more workable, economical, and desirable interface among the administrative, supplier, and user communities.

T use of a durable good is limited by both its physical life and usable life. For example, an electric-car battery can last for five years (physical life) or 100,000 miles (usable life), whichever comes first. We propose a framework for examining how a profit-maximizing firm might choose the usable life, physical life, and selling price of a durable good. The proposed framework considers differ...
