To Revive the Economy, Shrink the Dollar Bill!
The present research hypothesizes that the size of coupon, token, and other medium forms influences peoples’ willingness to pay controlling for the objective purchasing value. Furthermore, when sizes of tokens relatively correspond with their values, people show the least willingness to pay than when tokens of different values are made the same size (or when value and size reversely correspond). These effects are supported by a series of studies in both hypothetical and real consumption context.
