摘要:

作为一种最新型的参与式定价策略,PWYW 定价策略将定价权完全转移给了消费者,然而,以往学者的实证研究发现,这种定价策略能够带来更高的利润,这与传统的经济人假设相矛盾。本研究对促使消费者支付高价格的内在驱动因素进行了研究,发现消费者的互惠偏好、公平偏好及价格意识能够显著影响其PWYW支付意愿。此外,交易方式对上述影响起到了调节作用。

Abstract:

As a new participative pricing mechanism, PWYW pricing delegates the whole price determination to consumers. Previous empirical research has showed that PWYW pricing increases sellers’ profits, even when consumers can self-determine the price, which conflicts with the basic assumption of economic man in traditional economics. Thus, some other drivers must play a role when the PWYW price is determined. Based on social preference theory, we study the influences of altruism, fairness, reciprocity, sense of guilt and price consciousness on consumers willingness to pay under PWYW pricing mechanism, the study show that reciprocity, fairness and price consciousness have a positive impact on consumer’s willingness to pay, besides, these impacts are moderated by the way of transactions.

Key words: Participative Pricing, PWYW Pricing Mechanism, Reciprocity, Fairness, Price Consciousness
