Main Idea: Examine possible explanations for consumers' willingness to engage price search with PoPh theory.
P1: One explanation for 为什么消费者做的价格功课没有随着耐用品的价格升高而增加
Not supported: they underestimate market price variation. (出题)
P2: Another explanation
Weber's law: response to a change和absolute magnitude成反比
Thaler's theory: 人们看待节省20块钱和东西的价格成反比
In this case, even if consumers believe price variation of more expensive items to be greater, their motivation to do price comparison may not increase. (出题)
也就是说东西越贵,越觉得省20块钱不叫钱?
"psychophysics of price heuristic": translate expected savings from price search into relative terms. (出题)
P3: An example
Example: save $20 for $100 microwave vs save $20 for $400 television. Consumers tend to further search $20 for microwave because savings are higher.
Given same amount spent and same amount saved, consumers' willingnesses are different. (出题:例子是为了说明什么?)
P4: Effect of "psychophysics of price heuristic"
Effect: make important economic consequences at the aggregate, market level; explain P's observation that actual market price variation of standardized items is rlated to mean market price.
Supplementary goal: 1) provide an empirical examination of the relationship between market price variation and mean price; 2) explain the relationship with PoPh. (出题)
