Consumer’s price Search decisions for durable goods
Main Idea
The article demonstrated the explanations for why consumers’ willingness to engage in price search does not increase concomitantly with the price variation of the durable goods.
论点/段落大意
考试笔记:
2 PE (possible explanations) → 1st, not supported/2nd, supported
Last sen. (CON)
2nd PE - Weber 7 T
likewise , NOT increase
“PoP H”
Thus
Example
Pop H - ↓ search for $$
Therefore, SG - last sen. (CON)
P1: Discussed the first potential explanation why consumers’ willingness to engage in price search does not increase concomitantly with the price variation of the durable goods.
The last sentence is the conclusion of 1st explanation.
提到了有两个possible explanations,下一段可能讨论的就是第二个explanation.
P2: Talked about the second possible explanation and the theories it is based on.
Likewise - indicated that Weber and Thaler essentially hold the same view
Throughout the remainder of the article... - 提前告知了之后文章的内容
P3: Give out an example to demonstrate the perspective that If the consumer’s economic cost and expected benefit of price search are the same, and then should result in the same intention to undertake price-comparison shopping, no matter the price variation of the product.
这个观点与文章其他段落都不一样。
P4:
The use of psychophysics-of-price heuristic reduces consumers’ search for more expensive items and thus explains that the actual market price variation of standardized items is directly related to their mean market price (SG).
没有转折词,但是观点与P3不同,但与P2一样。
印象深刻/优美句子
Throughout the remainder of the article, we define consumers’ tendency to assess the utility of price savings as a proportion of the item’s price as the “psychophysics-of-price heuristic.”
生词
Concomitantly adv. at the same time
Inversely - adv. 反之
Heuristic -adj. (教學法)啟發式的,探索式的
