An Agent-Based Model","authors":"Francesco Pasimeni, Tommaso Ciarli","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3300103","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3300103","url":null,"abstract":"This paper focuses on the process of coalition formation conditioning the common decision to adopt a shared good, which cannot be afforded by an average single consumer and whose use cannot be exhausted by any single consumer. An agent based model is developed to study the interplay between these two processes: coalition formation and diffusion of shared goods. Coalition formation is modelled in an evolutionary game theoretic setting, while adoption uses elements from both the Bass and the threshold models. Coalitions formation sets the conditions for adoption, while diffusion influences the consequent formation of coalitions. Results show that both coalitions and diffusion are subject to network effects and have an impact on the information flow though the population of consumers. Large coalitions are preferred over small ones since individual cost is lower, although it increases if higher quantities are purchased collectively. The paper concludes by connecting the model conceptualisation to the on-going discussion of diffusion of sustainable goods, discussing related policy implications.","PeriodicalId":134754,"journal":{"name":"DecisionSciRN: Consumer Decision-Making (Sub-Topic)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125577412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We develop a two-country, two-firm model, in which the firms produce horizontally differentiated products and act as Bertrand competitors. Assuming that there is asymmetry in consumer nationalism between countries, we show that the country with the (relatively more) nationalist consumers can sustain more liberal trade policies than its trade partner in a repeated-game setting. Moreover, its most cooperative equilibrium tariff is actually decreasing in the level of its consumers' nationalism, provided that countries are not too patient. On the other hand, asymmetric consumer nationalism across countries produces an anti-cooperation effect on the incentives of the country with the non-nationalist consumers.","PeriodicalId":134754,"journal":{"name":"DecisionSciRN: Consumer Decision-Making (Sub-Topic)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121076199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Burberry as a brand has been able to influence the purchase decisions of consumers by utilizing motivational, perception, personality and lifestyle strategies. This paper looks at the various factors that are utilized by Burberry that act as marketing stimulus for influencing the purchasing decision of their consumers. Some recommendations dealing with the brand perception of Burberry are also provided to help Burberry improve their sales and create a unique fashion brand for itself. Motivation, personality and emotion are important factors that affect consumer decision making, especially in the case of high fashion products. Looking at all these various factors in detail, this paper concludes that motivation, perception, personality and lifestyle have been carefully utilized by Burberry to reposition its brand for the modern age.","PeriodicalId":134754,"journal":{"name":"DecisionSciRN: Consumer Decision-Making (Sub-Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114147998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, customers utilizing electronic banking facilities are increasing. This isdue tothe cost savings associated with transactions over the electronic platform. Internet banking enables speedy transactions, access, time and money savings through providing free paper, and complete and up-todate transactions. The competitive landscape of financial institutions is shifting as internet banking is no longer a competitive advantage but a competitive necessity for banks all over the world. While previous research works dwelt on wide range of issues relating to electronic banking issues, unfortunately, there is little empirical research on the effect of electronic channels on consumer’s buying behaviour and banking channel preferences in Nigeria as a developing economy. This study examined consumers’ decision-making between electronic banking and non-electronic banking in Nigeria. The research uses the consumer decision making process to identify factors that consumers use when deciding between electronic banking and non-electronic banking services. These factors include but not limited to service quality dimensions, service product characteristics, perceived risk factors, user skill factors, and price factors. The demographic variables include age, gender, marital status, ethnic background, educational qualification, employment, and income. Findings revealed a correlation between most of the above listed factors as some of the reasons for the poor adoption of electronic banking services in Nigeria as a developing economy.
