A Slack-Based Account of Pain of Payment
We identify a novel influence on the pain of payment. We suggest that people are averse to decreases in financial slack, and we demonstrate that depleting one’s slack is painful. Further, we show that the more a mental account is associated with slack, the more painful it is to deplete.
