Not All Anchors Weigh the Same: Anchoring and Framing Effects in Pay-What-You-Want Pricing

The current research explores anchoring and framing effects of external reference prices (ERPs) on Pay-What-You-Want (PWYW) payments. Two studies demonstrate that ERPs provide normative information that has anchoring effects on voluntary payments. However, frames activating different types of norms can cause identical nominal information to have differential effects on payments.
