The current expansion has seen record-high levels of
transactions in housing, extraordinary growth in the aggregate
value of owner-occupied housing, and large increases
in the amount of funds realized from the
refinancing of mortgage debt. Many analysts thus have
pointed to the strong housing market and rising home
prices as a major pillar supporting recent economic growth
and have expressed concern that a contraction in housing activity and values could pose a significant risk to consumer
spending and real economic growth. This paper explores
the channels by which the housing market may
affect consumer spending and assesses the potential risk
from a softening in the housing market. Our assessment is
that while a housing slowdown by itself may slow consumer
spending some, it is probably insufficient to precipitate
a downturn without some additional shocks outside of
the sector.

ABSTRACTThis article presents a systematic investigation of how Spending Propensity moderates consumers’ perceptions of prices. Results from three studies are presented. Studies 1 and 2 reveal that, in the absence of any external cues, consumers who are predisposed to spending freely evaluate a posted price more favorably than those who are not. Such consumers also report anticipating less pain associated with spending than those who are not inclined to spend. Additionally, Study 2 informs that simple price communication tactics, without any real reduction in price, may be effective at mitigating the pain felt among those who are less inclined to spend. Furthermore, such tactics are capable of reducing, and even reversing, the gap between those who are not predisposed to spending and those who are. Finally, Study 3 explores how spending propensity moderates consumers’ perceptions of a discount. 相似文献

Search theories suggest that a decline in search costs increases search behavior. This relationship has been well supported by prior experimental research but not by studies conducted in retail settings. Our review of the literature suggests that this discrepancy might be driven by the fact that prior experiments typically involve money-based search whereas actual search in retail settings is usually time-based. We argue that the currency of search plays a moderating role. We find that when participants spend money on search, a decrease in search costs has a significant effect on search decisions but, when they spend time on search, a decrease in search costs either has a relatively weak effect (Experiment 1) or no effect at all (Experiment 2). Furthermore, this insensitivity in time also emerges for search payoffs (Experiment 3). We also offer evidence for the processes underlying these effects. Our results provide a new lens to examine inconsistencies in the search literature, and present a view of search that is more applicable to the retail context. 相似文献

从众心理理论下提高广告创意效果的路径 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
从众是受别人的影响,而在自己的知觉、判断、认识上表现出符合于公众舆论或多数人的行为方式,从众现象是一种较普遍的心理现象。从众心理理论下,广告创作可以从优化“众”的质量、强化“众”的规模、强调“众”的切合度、描绘“众”的集舍性四个方面考虑,强化广告对消费者的引导力度,从而实现广告效果的最优化。 相似文献

Although U.S. economic growth is likely to continue to
be robust, the growth of private and public spending on
health care presents long-run public policy challenges.
To meet these challenges health care resources must be
used more efficiently. Currently, there are few incentives
to put health care dollars to the highest value use. This
is true in both public and private spending. An important
element of the problem lies in the tax-preferred
treatment given to employer-provided insurance but not
to out-of-pocket spending. The resulting bias towards
first-dollar insurance coverage means that consumers are insulated from the real costs of the health care that
they consume and have little reason to evaluate whether
the benefits are greater than those costs. Moreover, they
seldom have sufficient price and quality information to
make informed decisions. Health Savings Accounts
(HSAs) are a promising way to remove the tax-penalty
for enrolling in catastrophic insurance and paying for
routine care out of pocket. Given the information that
they need, consumers would then have more choices and
more control, strengthening their role in reducing waste,
improving efficiency, and promoting competition.
Coupled with other policies, HSAs can be a critical component
in moving toward an efficient and equitable
health care system.

Although weakness in the U.S. economy is an important factor in current federal budget deficits, even robust growth will leave unsustainable deficits unless there are major changes in federal policies. Moreover, deficits cannot be eliminated by reversion to past tax and spending policies. This paper explores the causes and magnitudes of the projected deficits and the choices that must be faced for the federal budget to regain a sustainable path. 相似文献

Research in mental accounting shows that prior spending influences a consumer's decision to make a new spending decision (Heath and Soll 1996, Soman 2001). In particular, greater spending in a particular category reduces the likelihood of further spending in that category. In the present research, we 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, we replicate earlier findings that prior spending influences a pending spending decision, but also show that the location of both the acquisition liability episode and the payment episode play a role. Our results contribute to an understanding of the dynamic mental accounting of acquisition liability and actual outflows. 相似文献

This is the first paper to study the impact of long‐term tariff reductions on capital spending by US manufacturers. We investigate fluctuations in investment for approximately 400 different four‐digit industries during the period 1974–2005. Our results indicate that the dismantling of tariff and quota protection has had a stimulatory effect on US manufacturing investment, despite the relatively low average tariff rate that existed at the start of our sample period. However, our findings reveal that reductions in input tariffs rather than output tariffs were the source of this effect, suggesting that better access to foreign inputs rather than increased foreign competition at the output level served as the primary stimulus for increased US manufacturing investment. 相似文献

The impact of expansionary fiscal policy intended to increase economic growth by using infrastructure‐focused stimulus packages is analyzed by considering the debt to GDP ratio dynamics model. It is shown that for the data characterizing the current state of the US economy the government investment in infrastructure cannot decrease the debt to GDP ratio. The paper contributes to the ongoing fiscal policy debate whether government investment in infrastructure is an effective approach to boost the economy. 相似文献

Data on 214 lone-parent families and 1,133 two-parent families were drawn from the Canadian 1990 Survey of Family Expenditures to examine their expenditure patterns. Tobit analysis was used to estimate marginal propensities to consume and income elasticities of 14 expenditure categories. Statistically significant differences between lone-parent families and two-parent families were found for the marginal propensities to consume and the income elasticities for expenditures on food at home, household operations and personal care. 相似文献

In this paper, we evaluate a new proposal to stimulate recovery from the current recession: a temporary federal price discount on consumer goods. An attractive feature of the temporary federal discount program is that it gives consumers a price incentive to purchase more rather than simply giving consumers more disposable income, which they might choose to either spend or to save. According to our simulations with the Fair macro-econometric model, a temporary 20 percent federal discount on all consumer goods in a severe recession would significantly reduce the unemployment rate while causing only a small increase in federal debt as a percentage of GDP. 相似文献

In a study of college students, affective credit attitude (feeling about using credit cards) and gender influenced college students' credit purchasing. Affective credit attitude predicted the purchase of clothing, electronics, entertainment, travel, gasoline, and food away from home. Females purchased clothing; males purchased electronics, entertainment, and food away from home. Gender was more influential in predicting financial management practices than was affective credit attitude, with female students employing a greater number of financial practices. A path analysis model showed gender differences in the relationship between financial practices, financial stress, affective credit attitude, and the number of credit cards with a balance. 相似文献
