The textbook I use is Nancy Stokey, The Economics of Inaction
https://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_ja_JP=%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=nancy+stokey+economics+inaction

The example I gave is not a textbook example, but is an "obvious"
extension of the simplest textbook models.
