When Your Hands Are Tied: the Effect of Expense Ownership on Financial Decisions
We explore the impact of expense ownership—the extent to which the incurrence of an expense is perceived to be dictated by one’s own will or the situation—on financial decisions. We demonstrate that lower expense ownership causes less pain of payment, and consequently, more expensive choice for the expense.
