How Temporal Separation in Budgeting Affects Spending Behavior

Across four studies, we explore how temporal separation between budget setting and actual purchase affects spending behavior. We show that as the temporal separation increases, people are increasingly likely to overspend their budget, and this effect is driven by adaptation of the hedonic impact associated with the budget.
