Risk on the Edge: the Effect of Socio-Spatial Location on Consumer Preferences
This paper explores how the relative spatial location of consumers in a group affects consumer preferences. We find that being located close to the center versus edge of a group primes the concepts of safety versus risk, respectively. As a result, being farther away from the center heightens risk-seeking.
