This paper studies implementation of the social optimum in a model of habit formation. We consider taxes that address inefciencies due to negative consumption externalities, imperfect competition, and self-control problems.

We provide a general characterization of the optimal tax rule and illustrate it with two examples. dynamic externalities, internalities, addiction, optimal taxation, time consistent implementation
