Synopsis:
Financial decisions are central to consumption. When making purchasing decisions, consumers
consider their available budget and determine how they will finance the purchase. Consumers must
also plan for long-term consumption by considering short- and long-term savings objectives and by
identifying how they will invest money saved, as well as how they will borrow needed money and
repay outstanding loans. The current issue of JACR explores a range of financial behaviors and
decisions, including saving, borrowing, and investing. The latest research presented in this webinar
offers valuable insights into how consumers make decisions about their finances and the role that
marketers play in the decision making process.
