Managing Multiple Consumer Credits: Effects of Cognitive Load and Goal Representation on Repayment Strategies

Literature indicates that people do not repay multiple credits rationally, but show debt-account-aversion. We confirm suboptimal repayment behavior and document influence of cognitive load on repayment strategies.
