The Counterintuitive Effect of Scarcity on Food Waste
Across three studies we examine scarcity’s effect on food waste behavior. Study 1 (a field study) examines food waste behavior in control versus scarcity-induced conditions. Study 2 explores scarcity’s effect on food-related behavior in lab. Study 3 tests temporal distance as a moderator of food waste within consumers experiencing scarcity.
