The Psychological Impact of Time Pressure on Pricing Perception
My view posits that the effectiveness of a pricing strategy is inextricably linked to the "time pressure consumption environment." According to my opinion, when consumers operate under significant time constraints, their ability to perform rational, comparative price analysis diminishes. In such environments, consumers are more likely to rely on heuristic cues—such as brand reputation or the first price they see—rather than seeking the lowest possible cost.
Behavioral Economic Analysis of Consumption
My view applies behavioral economic theory to explain why certain pricing structures, particularly in utility markets like electricity, are perceived as "reasonable" or "unreasonable" by householders.
In my research on household electricity consumption, my view explores whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) can predict these behaviors more accurately than traditional statistical methods. My view argues that for AI to be effective, it must account for the psychological prediction function—understanding the "why" behind the consumption rather than just the "how much." This mirrors the "Value-Based Competition" theories championed by Michael Porter, who argues that value is defined by the outcomes achieved per dollar spent, rather than just the lowest price.
