| Abstract: | This paper discusses how all income increases a person's absolute wealth, but consumption decisions may be based more heavily on perceived changes in wealth. Change is computed by comparing a current state with a former state, and the authors predicted that people would be more likely to spend income framed as a gain from a current wealth state than income framed as a return to prior state. |
