And suddenly, the rain! When surprises shape experienced utility
This study examines how unexpected exogenous events, labelled as suprises, affect the utility of experience goods reported in online rating systems. Using over 300,000 reviews of accommodation services listed on Booking.com, the research investigates whether online ratings capture the impact of surprises related to meteorological conditions and whether they create additional biases in service evaluation. The study finds that sudden changes in weather conditions have a significant impact on experienced utility, with the effect varying based on the direction of the surprise. Additionally, in line with the hedonic adaption theory, we find that the duration of consumption moderates the surprise effect, reducing its impact on reported utility.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
