摘要:When choosing among retail store formats, consumers face two alternatives: everyday-low-price(EDLP) stores that offer lower mean prices, with less variation over time, or promotion-based(HILO) stores that offer higher mean prices but more variation over time. In this study, weinvestigate a relationship between consumers’ risk preferences and their store-choice decisions.We use data from a two-stage, incentive-compatible experiment to measure subjects’ riskpreferences and to examine how their attitudes toward risk influence their preferences for storeprice format.We find that retailers’ pricing strategies allow consumers with different risk attitudesto choose a particular store price format.
