Money Attitudes,Credit Card Use,and Compulsive Buying among American College Students

The consumer culture has evolved into one of the most powerful forces shaping individuals and societies (Roberts and Sepulveda 1999 a, b). The desire to become a member of the consumer culture appears to be universal (Droge and Mackoy 1995). Changing attitudes toward money are an important catalyst behind the spread of the consumer culture. Money is important—especially to American college students who have been raised in a credit card society where debt is used freely (Ritzer 1995). Schor (1998) believes that access to easy credit is one of the causes of overspending. Using a causal modeling approach, the present study investigated the role money attitudes and credit card use play in compulsive buying within a sample of American college students (see Figure 1). Findings suggest that the money attitudes powerprestige, distrust, and anxiety (Yamauchi and Templer 1982) are closely related to compulsive buying and that credit card use often moderates these relationships. Study results have important public policy, marketing, and research implications.     

Compulsive Buying Among College Students: An Investigation of Its Antedecents,Consequences, and Implications for Public Policy

This study is an investigation of the incidence, antecedents, consequences, and public policy implications of compulsive buying among college students, a segment of the 44 million Americans born between 1965 and 1976, known as the Baby Bust generation. Previous research involving a broader range of adult consumers resulted in estimates of one to six percent classified as compulsive, buyers. Using Faber and O'Guinn's (1992) clinical screener for compulsive buying, six percent of the college students sampled were classified as compulsive buyers, thus indicating the need for better understanding of compulsive buying behavior in this segment of the Baby Bust generation. Various contributing factors, including familial, psychological, sociological, and demographic influences, are detailed. Of particular interest is the relationship between credit card use and compulsive buying. Implications for consumer policy are discussed, and suggestions for research are offered.     

The Effects of Credit Attitude and Socioeconomic Factors on Credit Card and Installment Debt

Most previous research on credit use has examined the effect of socioeconomic and attitude variables without considering the possible correlation among these factors. Also, the studies have not considered whether there is a difference between general and specific attitudes toward credit and the use of credit. This study addresses those problems and includes installment debt as well as credit card debt in the analysis. The study used data from the 1998 Survey of Consumer Finances. The findings show the higher the specific attitude index, the higher the outstanding credit card balances, and the more favorable the general attitude toward using credit, the higher the installment debt. The results suggest the need for greater awareness on the part of consumers and consumer educators on the influence of attitude in the use of credit.

我国商业银行信用卡拓展问题研究

信用卡业务进入中国的历史虽然较短,但其发展速度和规模却十分惊人.当前.我国商业银行信用卡业务拓展中还存在很多问题:银行卡业务运作模式缺乏活力,银行卡市场营销机制不健全,银行卡业务创新不足.国有商业银行必须积极推进信用卡业务向集约经营和集中管理模式转变,彻底解决分散经营、分级管理造成的弊端,从根本上增强一级法人的风险控制、经营约束和系统服务能力,实施信息集中,突出核心产品的竞争优势,整合营销渠道,改进服务,强化经营.     

客户粘性的经济后果研究：基于供应商授信视角

供应商授信是企业融资的重要方式之一,本文以2013-2018年A股上市公司为研究样本,深入考察客户稳定性对企业供应商授信的影响及其作用机制,研究结果表明：(1)企业的客户稳定性越强,获得供应商授信的额度越多。该结论在采用工具变量法、倾向得分匹配法和替代变量等一系列稳健性检验之后依然成立。(2) 作用路径识别发现,企业经营业绩、信息环境和审计意见对客户稳定性与供应商授信的关系具有部分中介效应,其中企业经营业绩传递了约12%的客户-供应商的授信效应;信息环境传递了约5%的客户-供应商的授信效应;审计意见传递了约91%的客户-供应商的授信效应。(3)异质性检验发现,当企业所在地信任度较低、法制环境较差时,客户稳定性对企业供应商的授信额度影响更为明显。

基于P2P借贷模式的互联网金融风险及其监管分析

在互联网金融背景下发展起来的P2P借贷模式是典型互联网平台模式在金融领域内的应用。我国的P2P借贷模式主要包括平台模式、担保模式、销售模式,P2P借贷平台作为小额贷款市场补充,促进了实体经济的发展,逐步成为了主流的理财方式之一,但P2P借贷平台却出现了跑路现象。P2P借贷模式存在信息不对称、平台管理不善、风控能力差、征信体系不完善等问题。P2P网络借贷机构应加快规范交易平台,建立专业团队,提高风控能力,逐步完善征信体系,接受监管部门的监督,且构建适合互联网健康发展的监管体系。     

债务违约事件对企业投资结构偏向的影响

近年来,在去杠杆进程推进和监管政策收紧背景下,企业的债务违约问题日渐常态化.本文以2001～2017年中国A股上市公司为研究样本,考察了债务违约事件对企业投资结构偏向的影响.研究发现,债务违约事件会导致企业投资结构偏向发生变化.债务违约发生后,企业的实体投资显著下降,金融投资显著上升.此外,债务违约事件对企业投资结构偏向的影响存在时间趋势效应.债务违约事件对实体投资的负向影响呈逐年衰减的趋势,而对金融投资的正向影响则呈先上升后下降的趋势.最后,不同企业异质性特征下债务违约事件对投资结构偏向的影响不同.民营企业、财务状况较差企业以及竞争行业中企业的投资结构偏向更容易受到债务违约事件的影响.本文的研究结论不仅拓展了债务违约在企业投资决策方面的研究边界,同时揭示了债务违约事件对企业投资结构偏向影响的作用机理.     

The Impact of Religion on the Going Concern Reporting Decisions of Local Audit Offices

We extend research on the effects of local audit office characteristics on audit quality by investigating whether audit offices in highly religious U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) exhibit going concern decisions that reflect heightened professional skepticism relative to audit offices in less religious MSAs. Prior research links religiosity to risk aversion and ethical development and suggests audit practice offices in more religious MSAs are more likely to issue going concern opinions because they will assess the effects of mitigating factors in a more skeptical manner. Our results indicate that audit practice offices located in highly religious MSAs are more likely to issue going concern audit opinions, consistent with a more skeptical assessment of mitigating factors. Additional tests provide direct evidence consistent with the argument that these audit offices are more risk averse in issuing going concern opinions. Our findings are relevant to auditors, audit clients, researchers, and regulators.

信用、信息和交易——当今信用缺失的原因、后果及其治理

本文认为,信用是市场交易的基本要素,是社会经济运行的润滑剂,信用缺失对经济增长和社会发展影响极大。导致信用缺失的原因很多,而信息不对称就是一个难以完全消除的原因。信息不对称所导致的严重后果之一就是加大了实际交易费用,甚至使交易者因惧怕高额交易费用而放弃交易,导致社会福利无从增加。文章提出,为降低信息不对称程度、完善信用市场,必须进行信用主体、社会和政府三方面的信用建设,促进信用主体采取相应的自助与自救措施矫正信息不对称程度,取得互利的信任;加强社会信用信息系统建设,尤其是信息中介机构建设;充分发挥政府在信用建设中的作用,以政府为主导,在各有关部门的积极参与下,促进信用信息系统建设。

异质性信贷约束对农民创业绩效的影响

创业绩效是每个创业者关注的核心问题。本文基于信贷均衡理论,采用我国传统劳务输出大省江西省创业农民的调查数据,甄别了样本的信贷约束及类型,实证研究了信贷约束及其类型异质性对农民创业绩效的影响。内生处理效应模型的估计结果表明,相比无信贷约束样本,受到信贷约束的农民创业财务绩效低94%,充分缓解其信贷约束能够提升财务绩效约45%。采用控制方程方法、OLS模型的回归结果表明,相比无信贷约束样本,受到完全数量型信贷约束、风险型信贷约束和部分数量型信贷约束的农民创业财务绩效分别低34%、26%和16%。信贷约束及其类型异质性对农民创业成长绩效的稳健性检验结果也印证了两者的负向关系。因此,应实施差异化的信贷政策,努力缓解创业农民的信贷约束,提升其创业绩效。

The Impact of Situational,Demographic, and Socioeconomic Factors on Impulse Buying in the Republic of Macedonia

This study explores the role of situational, demographic, and socioeconomic variables in stimulating impulse purchase behavior in the Republic of Macedonia. Factor analysis reveals five categories of situational impulse buying factors: social and personal, in-store atmosphere, sales related, sales promotion, and time and money. Cluster analysis produced two segments: noticeably rational and noticeably impulsive. The results show significant differences between the two segments on all five factors of impulse buying. Furthermore, the results show that segments differ in terms of age, working status, household income, and frequency of buying.
