Tiivistelmä: | The authors develop a general game-theoretic model, illustrate how the model extends to installment billing, and conduct a large-scale field test. The general model illustrates how selling to multiple segments may lead to an adverse quality signal. The authors illustrate how the model extends to installment-billing offers in a direct- mail catalog. Installment-billing offers allow customers to spread the total payment over a series of payments. All customers have the option of using installment billing, and customers who use the plan receive an economic benefit (an interest-free loan). The authors would normally expect this type of offer to increase demand or, at a minimum, leave demand unchanged. |
