In this paper, we seek to investigate heterogeneity in households’ valuation of electricity contract attributes that reflect demand-side flexibility in the Swedish residential sector. Using stated preference data generated from a choice experiment, we estimate a mixed logit model in willingness-to-pay space and derive individual-specific conditional mean valuations for contract attributes which include various load controls and distribution of electricity consumption information. We perform a posterior analysis and identify different segments based on the monetary values households attach to the contract attributes. We find that a large proportion of households asks for substantial compensation to accept various load controls and to share their electricity consumption information. However, some households are willing to share their electricity consumption information and ask for relatively lower compensation to allow load controls. We also find that some households that accept load controls at a relatively low compensation require a sizeable compensation to share their electricity consumption information, and vice versa. From the perspective of the contract providers, these findings suggest that information-optional contracts can generate more customers than contracts that bundle households’ consumption information with various load controls.

We investigate heterogeneity in responsiveness to reminder letters among New York City parking ticket recipients. Using variation in the timing of letters, we find a strong aggregate response. But we find large differences across individuals: those with a low baseline propensity to respond to tickets—a natural nudge target—react least to letters. These low-response types, who incur significant late penalties, disproportionately come from already disadvantaged groups. They do react strongly to traditional, incentive-based interventions. We discuss how accounting for response heterogeneity might change one’s approach to policy and how one might use our analysis to target interventions at low-response types. (JEL D04, D12, D91, H71)

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine five proposed research models and understand the factors affecting customer expectation, service quality, perceived value, customer satisfaction, and brand loyalty in Online Travel Agent (OTA) companies. This study also evaluates the general feelings of the customers whether they feel satisfied or not with OTA products and/or services. Methodology: The research method of this study used a quantitative approach and analyzed the acquired data by using single and multiple linear regression techniques. The service quality, customer expectation, corporate image, perceived value, customer satisfaction, known as predictor variables that affect the dependent variable of brand loyalty. Main Findings: From the statistical tests conducted in this study, it reveals that only one out of all eleven hypotheses were not accepted. Surprisingly it reveals that the customers keep purchase hotel and/or flight tickets from online travel booking sites no matter its service quality. Customer satisfaction and corporate image were influenced more significantly rather than its service quality. Implication: This study evaluates all customers past purchasing behaviors of the hotel and/or flight tickets purchased through OTA, and the result was valid, thus it can be used to reflect on how Indonesian OTA’s products and services may improve the customer satisfaction through their marketing program in the future. Novelty/Originality of this study: There have been problems that might found in Indonesian OTAs that may lower its customer satisfaction level toward the traveling industry. However, there was only a limited number of OTA research studies conducted for the Indonesia market to understand its online consumer behavior. Therefore this study was conducted to explore the plausible factors that cause the problem.

The role of cash-back credit cards in personal financial strategies is highly debated. For example, Dave Ramsey (Ramsey 2019) urges consumers to avoid even the most lucrative cash-back cards, while others argue that these cards offer significant savings. Herein, we construct models to analyze the use of cash-back cards by rational consumers, demonstrating that cash-back cards increase spending (and thus, reduce savings) for some consumers. While prior research focuses on behavioral issues related to credit cards, our research is the first to show that some consumers will rationally increase spending when using a cash-back credit card in lieu of cash.

Consumption is usually associated with time spending. Sometimes the length of time itself is part of the products, for example, the length of consulting services or time duration of transportation. In other scenarios, there is a minimum requirement of time, or waiting time, that customers have to spend during their consumption process; examples include the long queue outside an amusement park ride, shipping time after placing an order on Amazon, and waiting time when hailing for a ride on the road. Marketers have started to offer various types of time-related service packages correspondingly, such as premium pass, 1-day delivery, and priority order. In this paper, we use anonymized and normalized browsing and order data from Didi – an online ride-hailing company, and estimate the value of waiting time in riding scenarios. We find that the value of saving one standardized unit of waiting time is equivalent to lowering 0.97 standardized unit of price for an average passenger. As a reference, upgrading to a higher level of car type is equivalent to lowering prices by only 0.4 standardized units. The marginal value is decreasing when the time horizon is short, but there exists a turning point at about 1.5 standardized time units. When the waiting time is less than 1.5 units, the marginal utility is decreasing; whereas when it is longer than 1.5 units, passengers exhibit an increasing marginal value in waiting time. Furthermore, we find a larger turning point in rush-hour orders (relative to non-rush-hour orders), and in weekday orders (relative to weekend orders). Our study provides new insights on understanding the value of time and is also practically relevant for managerial decisions on time-related product design and pricing.

Using data from the Health and Retirement Survey, we document the changes in assets that occur before a person's death. Applying an event study approach, we find that during the 6 years preceding their deaths, the assets of single decedents decline, relative to those of similar single survivors, by an additional $20,000 on average. Over the same time span, the assets of couples who lose a spouse fall, relative to those of similar surviving couples, by an additional $90,000 on average. Households experiencing a death also incur higher out-of-pocket medical spending and other end-of-life expenses. This elevated spending is sufficient to explain (in accounting terms) the asset declines observed for singles but falls short of explaining the declines observed for couples. Bequests from the dying spouse to non-spousal heirs such as children are more than sufficient to explain the remainder.

The object of research is the influence of the marketing communication environment of the enterprise on the model of formation of consumer behavior. The study of this influence in today's conditions is becoming increasingly promising and is due, first of all, to the increasing role of marketing communications in the promotion of goods and services of an enterprise. The application of scientific approaches to the formation of consumer behavior will more accurately determine the target audience. This will increase the effectiveness of the advertising campaign of the enterprise. When writing the work, such methods and approaches as logical generalization, analysis and synthesis are used to substantiate conceptual approaches to shaping consumer behavior. As well as a grouping method – for compiling methodological approaches to the study of consumer behavior.The paper analyzes the differences between the adoption of consumer decisions about the purchase of goods and the communication component of marketing in the relationship of business models B2B and B2C. In particular, it is indicated that industrial consumers in the B2B business model are influenced by corporate marketing, which reflects not the personal interests, but the interests of business entities. At the same time, the business model in the B2B segment is aimed at maintaining stable and mutually beneficial relations between economic entities as strategic partners using a specific set of methods and tools. The author systematizes the main methodological approaches to the study of consumer behavior and its models, in general terms it can be divided into two enlarged groups: psychographic (value style) and commodity or subject.It is argued that the successful use of the considered models is an effective tool of marketing communications, the use of which will increase the effectiveness of the advertising campaign, will turn potential consumers into real ones. This, in the future, will lead to an increase in the volume of sales of products (services) and an increase in the competitiveness of the enterprise.

Firms use offline advertising to drive online browsing and sales. However, while a recent literature has demonstrated a surge in online activity in the minutes following TV advertising, there is limited evidence on the extent to which offline advertising indeed leads to a sustained significant uptake in online sales. We investigate the effect of TV advertising on browsing and sales accounting both for the instant effect as well as for an aggregate effect across a time window covering multiple weeks. Using evidence from a field test conducted by an online travel company, we confirm similar findings as in previous literature that TV advertising has a positive instant effect on both online browsing and online sales. However, this instant effect does not translate into an increase in either browsing or sales over a period of multiple weeks, implying that the firm does not see an increase in revenue as a result of the TV advertising campaign. We document consumers' inter-temporal substitution as the mechanism behind this aggregate null effect. The findings indicate that rather than focusing on instantaneous spikes marketing managers should consider a longer time window when evaluating the effectiveness of TV campaigns on online purchases.

We study the identification of intertemporal preferences in a stationary dynamic discrete decision model. We propose a new approach which focuses on problems which are intrinsically dynamic: either there is endogenous variation in the choice set, or preferences depend directly on the history. History dependence links the choices of the decision-maker across periods in a more fundamental sense standard dynamic discrete choice models typically assume. We consider both exponential discounting as well as the quasi-hyperbolic discounting models of time preferences. We show that if the utility function or the choice set depends on the current states as well as the past choices and/or states, then time preferences are non-parametrically point-identified separately from the utility function under mild conditions on the data and we may also recover the instantaneous utility function without imposing any normalization on the utility across states.
