Consumer price index

examples of how incentives govern our thoughts and actions and its role in economics. The first example explored was the unlikeliness of a house agent to wait to sell a client house for a higher price. The simple reason is the low incentive.

When “sharing” is market-mediated — when a company acts as an intermediary between consumers who don’t know each other — it is no longer sharing at all.

the life-cycle hypothesis, expectations about future income leads to the misuse of credit (Kish, 2006). Soman and Cheema (2002) noted that if naïve consumers have access to large amounts of credit, they are likely to infer that their lifetime income will be high, which increases their willingness to spend beyond their means. Under this scenario, consumers utilize more credit in anticipation of their income increasing, which may or may not materialize. Optimism, overconfidence in financial…
