The theory of habit formation has played an important role in the research on Chinese residents'consumption issues in recent years.Based on a broad perspective,this study reviews the application progress of the theory of internal and external habit formation in consumption issue research from the perspectives of theoretical framework,research perspective,research object,research data and method in order to provide reference for the research of Chinese residents'consumption issues from the perspective of habit formation in the new era.It is found that the research on consumption issues from the perspective of habit formation is mostly based on the framework of internal habit formation theory initially,and the research on external consumption habit formation starts relatively late and in recent years has been carried out mainly based on the framework of the same group effect theory.During the process of transitioning from mainly a macro perspective to a combination of macro and micro perspectives in consumption habit formation research,the research object has expanded from residents'total consumption to classified consumption,the quality of the data used in the research is gradually improving,and the methods for identifying causal effects are also becoming more robust and perfect.In addition,the consumption issue research within the framework of generalized habit formation theory has gradually been carried out based on the research on the formation of internal and external consumption habits.It is suggested that the future research should be more based on the framework of generalized habit formation,examine the consumption behavior of residents from a dynamic perspective.Several issues worth studying based on China realistic background are also proposed.
