Do Number Endings Influence the Likelihood of Consumer Debt Repayment?
This research shows that number endings can influence consumer debt repayment decisions. Three studies indicate that consumers are more likely to repay debts ending in round numbers (i.e., ‘0’ and ‘5’) than other debt amounts (including 9-endings), which we attribute to the high processing fluency of round numbers.
