	Bohm-Bawerk, The Positive Theory of Capital, Book VI, Chapter VII: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Material goods are of use to mankind through the action of the natural powers that reside in them, or, as I have expressed it in another place, through the rendering of their material services.
		A service obtains value exactly as a good does—that is, by the satisfaction of some want being dependent upon it—and the amount of its value is measured by the importance of the dependent want—that is, by the amount of the marginal utility which may be obtained from a service of such kind and such extent.
		If a good is capable of rendering ten services, and if the satisfaction of a certain want depends on each of these services, it is obvious that what depends on the possession of the good is the receiving of these satisfactions, and, indeed, of all the ten satisfactions from which the services get their value.

	Durable good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In economics, a durable good or a hard good is a good which does not quickly wear out, or more specifically, it yields services or utility over time rather than being completely used up when used once.
		Nondurable goods or soft goods are the opposite of durable goods.
		Durable goods, nondurable goods and services together constitute the consumption of an economy.

		It is shown that the durability of the good either acts as an entry barrier itself or creates an opportunity for the incumbent firm to deter entry by limit pricing.
		As a consequence, the industry tends to remain monopolized, with successive generations of the durable good being introduced by the incumbent monopolist.

		We study consumption of durable and nondurable goods when the durable good is subject to transaction costs.
		In the model, agents derive utility from a service flow of a durable good and a consumption flow of a nondurable good.
		The variation is a function of the degree of complementarity between durable and nondurable goods in the period utility function, the rate of intertemporal substitution, and a precautionary motive induced by incomplete markets.

	Optimal Consumption of a Divisible Durable Good - Knowledge@Wharton
		We examine the intertemporal optimal consumption and investment problem in a continuous-time economy with a divisible durable good.
		Consumption services are assumed to be proportional to the stock of the good held and adjustment of the stock is costly, in that it involves the payment of a proportional transaction cost.
		We show that the investor acts so as to maintain the ratio of the stock of the durable to total wealth in a fixed (nonstochastic) range and that the optimal investment policy involves stochastic portfolio weights.

		This paper derives and evaluates the decisions of a durable good monopolist in a context where demand for the services of the durable good changes over time.
		It shows that, if the size of the market decreases over time, social welfare may be higher when the monopolist has commitment ability than when she has not.
		The work also proves that these results obtain if there is uncertainty about future demand for the services of the durable good.

	Damaged Durable Goods
		In such a case, damaged goods are more likely to be observed relative to the static setting where only the price-discrimination aspect of quality degradation is in effect.
		However, it is more likely to reduce welfare by inducing low-valuation buyers to buy the low-quality good early rather than to wait and buy the high-quality good later.
		So, quality degradation of durable goods is more likely to occur but less promising to the society, relative to the case of nondurable goods where damaged goods are rarely observed but more likely to be Paretoimproving.
