Signaling Virtue: Charitable Behaviors Under Consumer Elective Pricing
In four field experiments (N= 58,501), we investigate how consumers socially signal their charitable identity under pay-what-you-want pricing. We find that consumers are sensitive to signal type (commercial vs. charitable) but insensitive to signal scale. We observe these behaviors in both purchase likelihood and purchase prices.
