How much would you like to pay? Trust, reciprocity and prosocial motivations in El trato

Abstract: Prosocial motivations and reciprocity are becoming increasingly important in social-science research. While laboratory experiments have challenged the assumption of universal selfishness, the external validity of these results has not been sufficiently tested in natural settings. In this article we examine the role of prosocial motivations and reciprocity in a Pay What You Want (PWYW) sales strategy, in which consumers voluntarily decide how much to pay for a product or service. This article empirically analys… Show more

“…Investigations on age effects contain mixed results. Five studies identify significantly positive interrelations between age and PWYW prices (Borck et al, 2006;Kim et al, 2014a;León et al, 2012;Racherla et al, 2011;Waskow et al, 2016). Regner (2015) finds a negative association, whereas research of Gautier and Van der Klaauw (2012), Gneezy et al (2012) and Riener (2008) suggests an inverted U-shaped pattern.…”

“…Similarly, PWYW sales accompanied by external RP should result in higher payments relative to offers that are not supplemented by external RP nominations. The majority of the em-pirical PWYW studies, which analyze external RP, support these suppositions (Armstrong Soule and Madrigal, 2015;Gautier and Van der Klaauw, 2012 (in case of incidental customer encounters with PWYW offers); Jang and Chu, 2012; (in case of hypothetical payments); Kim et al, 2014a;Krawczyk et al, 2015;Lee et al, 2011Lee et al, , 2015León et al, 2012;Parvinen et al, 2013;Perfecto et al, 2013;Perfecto et al, 2014;Pöyry and Parvinen, 2014;Pöyry et al, 2013;Regner and Barria, 2009;Riener, 2008). Furthermore, several PWYW studies, in which customers were provided with information on the variable production costs of the goods offered, find significantly positive correlations between the level of the stated direct costs -which can be regarded as a special variant of external RP -and the level of voluntary customer payments (Jang and Chu, 2012;Kim et al, 2014a;Krämer et al, 2015;Schmidt et al, 2015; for an insightful theoretical analysis of this association see Greiff et al, 2014).…”
