The Effect of Default Time Units on Budget Estimation
Whether budgets are elicited in one’s default time unit (the time unit one typically uses for budget planning) or a non-default unit influences the estimation difficulty and magnitude of budget estimates. Using non-default units can increase or decrease estimated budgets, depending on how consumers interpret and respond to metacognitive difficulty.
