the wayinwhich consumers 消费者 will spend their money must study consumer behavior He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourageor discourage money spending If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most people with rising incomes Stable incomes or decreasing incomes he would probably answer those with decreasing incomes Actually years 1947 1950 the answer was people with rising incomes People with decreasing incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least This shows us that traditional assumptions 假 设 about earning and spending are not always reliable Another traditional assumption is thatifpeople who have money expect prices to go up they will hasten to buy If they expect prices to go down they will postpone buying Butresearch surveys have shown that this is not always true The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying One typical attitude was expresser by the wife of a mechanicinan interview at a time of rising prices In a few months she said we llhave pay more for meat and milk we llhave less to spend on other things Her family had been planning to buy a new car

don t pay theseprices they aretoo high The investigations mentioned above were carried outinAmerica condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable they arelikely to buy Thus itappears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on acorrect understanding of consumer psychology 心理学
