Pay What You Care? An Exploration of Conscious Pricing
This research examines a new pricing strategy which allows consumers to put a price on their ethics, which we label conscious pricing. We examine Panera Cares, a pay-what-you-want café, and conclude that consumers are not willing to shoulder the burden for social ills such as hunger and poverty.
