This is not sufficiently addressed in current consumer welfare assessment tools. Existing paradigms conceive of consumer preferences as static factors. Key to our solution is the prediction of preferences of new consumers and changing preferences of existing consumers in the future. We offer suggestions on how to conceptionalize and operationalize this. Depending on the particular case, various economic techniques may be used to extract and extrapolate consumers’ current and future preferences or to assess how consumer preferences will change under varying scenarios (such as additional information on environmental impact). This increases the scope of the consumer welfare paradigm and can help to solve conceptual issues regarding the integration of sustainability into antitrust enforcement. It allows to keep consumer surplus as a quantitative gauge, which safeguards the coherence of the substantive toolkit. Moreover, it allows to apply the consumer welfare concept in cases where the competitive restraint relates to product features that do not bear on social costs but address non-economic ethical posits that may change over time.","PeriodicalId":202915,"journal":{"name":"Consumer Social Responsibility eJournal","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132391305","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}

This paper supports the thesis of inadequacy of the homo oeconomicus model, providing results of a field experiment conducted in the city of Naples (Italy) on the practice of “suspended coffee�? (caffè sospeso). The suspended coffee tradition was initially launched in Naples and consists in people purchasing two coffees, one to drink on the spot and one to be left “suspended�? for someone else to drink for free. A convenience sample of café clients completed a self-administered questionnaire. Their answers were examined in relation to the declared choice and consequent purchase of a suspended coffee. The analysis of the data focuses on the impact that socio-demographic characteristics and motivations, such as consumer choices and adherence to social norms, have on the choice of purchasing a suspended coffee. Within the framework of Structural Equation Modelling, results from a series of latent Path Analyses reveal that being aware of the existence of the suspended coffee tradition has a direct effect on its purchase whilst also mediating the effect of variables such as social norms, café, nationality, and age of the respondents. Our study confirms the human beings’ capacity to act pro-socially and altruistically. Limitations and future directions are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":202915,"journal":{"name":"Consumer Social Responsibility eJournal","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114633401","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}

Prior research on entrepreneurship theories and influencing factors have been abundant especially in the sensemaking of the current dynamic environment and disruptive innovations. Social conformity is an act of following the majority in order to be liked, to be accepted or due to the group pressure. The literatures on social conformity mostly are in journals of psychology and very limited number of these journals are in the field of entrepreneurship.\u0000Methodology/Technique – This paper aims to examine the effects of social conformity hereinafter refer to purchase conformity and the factors influencing the purchase conformity to boost sales rate, namely social status, social influence, social ties and social comparison using the mixed-method methodology on 86 adult respondents located in Jakarta.\u0000Findings – The result shows that the social comparison has the biggest influence compared to social influence and social ties. Conformity in a deeper sense can benefit the company by predicting the future trend of the majority.\u0000Novelty – The ability to predict or even create the majority trend before the trend hits will boost the sales rate and give more competitive advantages to the company. Future research should address the individual psychological factors and the strategies of the firm to increase purchase conformity.\u0000Type of Paper: Empirical\u0000Keywords: Social Conformity; Social Ties; Social Comparison; Social Status; Purchase Conformity\u0000Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Princes E.; Manurung, A.

The existing literature on China’s interfuel substitution is mainly based on the translog function form and often the global curvature is not imposed. There is also a lack of a comprehensive analysis encompassing both the national and sectoral levels. This study fills the gap by estimating the Normalized Quadratic (NQ) cost and expenditure functions with global curvatures imposed. We analyse China’s provincial panel data from 2000 to 2012 both at national and sectoral levels: agriculture, industry, service and residential. Our analysis follows a two-stage process: first we estimate a nonlinear system of energy share equations using the Iterative Feasible Generalized Nonlinear Least Square (IFGNLS) method, and second, we calculate the Allen-Uzawa and Morishima elasticities of substitution. We have three main findings. First, the four main types of energy - coal, oil, gas and electricity - are overall substitutable, suggesting that China’s energy transition towards modern fuels is possible. Second, with the nation ascending the energy ladder from traditional to modern energy, the Morishima elasticities of substitution become more elastic, suggesting that a decrease in difficulty of energy transition in China. Third, the Morishima elasticities of substitution in the direction of modern energy price changes usually are greater than that in the direction of traditional energy price changes, suggesting that consumer behaviour change is more sensitive to the modern energy price fluctuations other than that of traditional energy. Overall, we conclude by providing a prospect of energy transitions in China, especially when the relative prices of modern energy are falling.","PeriodicalId":202915,"journal":{"name":"Consumer Social Responsibility eJournal","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123519675","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}
