Is Status Quo Bias Consistent with Downward-sloping Demand?
By now, there is a large experimental literature showing some kind of status quo bias. If the subject is given a coffee mug (candy bar) and later given the possibility of trading it for a candy bar (coffee mug) of equal value, the subject is likely to stick with the original allocation (Knetsch, 1989). Here, we ask whether status quo bias can be made consistent with downward-sloping demand curv...
متن کاملSimultaneity with Downward Sloping Demand
This paper considers anew the simultaneity problem that arises when observations of transactions are used to study the demand behavior of pricetaking consumers. Simultaneity is shown to be a problem of censored outcomes. This fact is used to obtain a basic negative finding on identification in the absence of prior information on the structure of demand or the process of price determination. The...
متن کاملRational choice with status quo bias
Motivated by the empirical findings concerning the importance of one’s current situation on her choice behavior, the main objective of this paper is to propose a rational choice theory that allows for the presence of a status quo bias, and that incorporates the standard choice theory as a special case. We follow a revealed preference approach, and obtain two nested models of rational choice tha...
متن کاملOption Pricing with Downward-Sloping Demand Curves: The Case of Supply Chain Options
This article investigates the role of option contracts in a supply chain when the demand curve is downward sloping. We consider call (put) options that provide the retailer with the right to reorder (return) goods at a fixed price. We show that the introduction of option contracts causes the wholesale price to increase and the volatility of the retail price to decrease. In general, options are ...
متن کاملA regret-induced status quo bias.
A suboptimal bias toward accepting the status quo option in decision-making is well established behaviorally, but the underlying neural mechanisms are less clear. Behavioral evidence suggests the emotion of regret is higher when errors arise from rejection rather than acceptance of a status quo option. Such asymmetry in the genesis of regret might drive the status quo bias on subsequent decisio...
