Results suggest that some consumers may take a more scientific approach to health care and prevention than others and that demographics, health status, and health consciousness are partial predictors of tha...... hiện toàn bộ

Yi-Wen Chien, Sharon A. DeVaney
Most previous research on credit use has examined the effect of socioeconomic and attitude variables without considering the possible correlation among these factors.

This study addresses those problems and includes installment debt as well as cred...... hiện toàn bộ

Nutrition Knowledge, Gender, and Food Label Use
Tập 34 Số 1 - Trang 97-112 - 2000
Rodolfo M. Nayga
This paper empirically explores the relationship between nutrition knowledge, gender, and food label use. The econometric approach treats both nutrition knowledge and label use as endogenous variables when estimating the model for food label use. The results suggest that nutrition knowledge does not have an effect on label use, confirming the weak link hypothesis between knowledge and beha...... hiện toàn bộ

Who Pays for Credit Cards?
Tập 37 Số 2 - Trang 208-230 - 2003
Sujit Chakravorti, William R. Emmons
The authors model side payments in a competitive credit‐card market. If competitive retailers absorb the cost of accepting credit cards by charging a higher goods price to everyone, then someone must subsidize convenience users of credit cards to prevent them from defecting to merchants who do not accept cards. The side payment could be financed by card users who roll over balances and pay...... hiện toàn bộ
Determinants of Household Expenditures on Alcohol
Tập 30 Số 1 - Trang 48-67 - 1996
Steven T. Yen, Helen H. Jensen
This paper examines the determinants of household alcohol expenditures by using a nonnormal and heteroscedastic double‐hurdle model to accommodate zero observations in the sample. The model is a generalization of the double‐hurdle model estimated in previous studies of alcohol consumption. We also examine the effects of explanatory variables by calculating and decomposing the elasticities....... hiện toàn bộ

Recent public policy discussions have focused on the role and influences of television, school, and family in teaching young people various desirable and undesirable consumer‐related cognitions and behaviors. This research provides a theoretical and empirical basis useful in resolving such issues. The study examined the influences of television, family, school and peers on the acquisition ...... hiện toàn bộ
