Tiivistelmä: | This article examines systematic differences in people's spending behavior when using foreign currencies. Rather than overspend or underspend in general, the authors show that individuals' valuation of a product in an unfamiliar foreign currency is biased toward its nominal value with inadequate adjustment for the exchange rate. This leads to underspending when the face value of a foreign currency is a multiple of an equivalent unit of a home currency and overspending when it is a fraction. Four studies demonstrate the robustness of the face value effect across different currencies, exchange rate frames, and with samples from two countries, and two studies show that ability-related factors such as time pressure and experience moderate the face value effect. |
