Tiivistelmä: | Research in mental accounting shows that prior spending influences a consumer's decision to make a new spending decision. In particular greater spending in a particular category reduces the likelihood of further spending in that category. In the present research the authors decompose spending into two distinct episodes-the acquisition liability episode during which a purchase is made accompanied by a commitment to pay (e.g. using a credit card) and the payment episode during which the consumer's wealth actually gets depleted (e.g. paying the credit card bill). Using a controlled laboratory experiment and real world data from a group of consumers the authors replicate earlier findings. |
