Session Chairs: Marat Bakpayev, University of Minnesota Duluth, USA; Ann Kronrod, University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA Consumer Interactions With Artificial Intelligence Agents – a Historical Perspective *Marat Bakpayev (University of Minnesota Duluth, USA); Russell W. Belk (York University, Canada) In our conceptual work, we examine consumers interacting with machines, be it in fiction or in fact. AI Agents may be regarded as servants, masters, friends, or monsters. As a result, consumer interactions may be functional or social, calming or frightening, successful or failed. Are Robots in Service of the Environment? The Role of Service Robots in Socially Responsible Business Practices *Marina Puzakova (Lehigh University, USA); Amir Grinstein (Northeastern University, USA) Two significant societal trends are on the rise: the introduction of service robots and an increasing business commitment to socially responsible practices. Based on 3 experiments we study how service robots impact consumer engagement with, and perception of, brands’ socially responsible efforts, and the underlying mechanism. The Impact of Humans and Robots on Consumer Behavioral Intentions in Medical Contexts *Ilana Shanks (Stony Brook University); Martin Mende (Florida State University, USA); Maura Scott (Florida State University, USA); Jenny van Doorn (University of Groningen, The Netherlands); Dhruv Grewal (Babson College, USA) This research examines how consumers respond to human-robot teams in medical contexts. We find that consumers show lower ratings of favorability to a robot led team (vs. human). Risk acceptance, power distance belief, and consumer choice are examined as boundary conditions. AI Service Agents, Figurative Language, and Conversational Cooperativeness Marat Bakpayev (University of Minnesota Duluth, USA); *Ann Kronrod (University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA) Taking a sociolinguistic perspective, we compare consumer reactions to the use of figurative language (vs. literal) by human/AI service agents. We find that, as opposed to human agents, using figurative language can hurt AI agents, and discover that it occurs because consumers do not perceive them as cooperative conversation partners. Antecedents and Consequences of Consumer Budgeting 2 First Virtual 2020 ACR Conference Program October 1-4, 2020 The Influence of Budgets on Consumer Spending *Chuck Howard (Texas A&M University, USA); Marcel Lukas (University of St Andrews) Budgeting is a common and consequential consumer behavior. However, little is known about the extent to which budgets do (or do not) influence spending in the wild. We address this gap in the literature using app data and find that budgets are both wildly optimistic and highly influential. On the Psychology of Resource Monitoring *Daniel Katz (University of Chicago, USA); Abigail Sussman (University of Chicago, USA) This research aims to understand when, why, and how people monitor resources like money, time, and calories. We found people monitored money more than time or calories and monitoring varied by the timeframe over which the resource was being used. We identified several factors underlying differences in monitoring across resources. A Query Theory Explanation for Reactions to Constraint *Matthew Meister (University of Colorado, USA); John Lynch (University of Colorado, USA) Two studies provide support for the hypothesis that pure memory factors have a significant effect on consumers’ reactions to changing constraints. Subjects were more successful at prioritizing their spending when given a delay between budgeting and a new constraint. Evidence suggests subjects thought more broadly after the delay. How Consumers Budget Yiwei Zhang (University of Wisconsin - Madison, USA); Abigail Sussman (University of Chicago, USA); *Jennifer Lyu (University of Colorado, USA); Nathan Wang-Ly (Commonwealth Bank of Australia) Using a nationally-representative survey (N=3,826) and data from an online banking app, this research examines budgeting behaviors and beliefs, including why people do or do not budget, how they categorize their consumption, and how they adjust their behavior when faced with financial shocks. Implications for financial well-being are discussed. Antecedents of and Remedies to the Spread of False Information in the Social Media Era Session Chair: Gizem Ceylan, University of Southern California, USA Look What I am Re-Sharing: How Self-Presentation Goals Impact What Consumers Spread on Social Networks *Gizem Ceylan (University of Southern California, USA); Norbert Schwarz (University of Southern California, USA) Consumers share content from sources of varying credibility. We find that consumers who want to fit in are more willing to share popular information from well-known credible sources. However, consumers who want to stand out share information regardless of source credibility which may cause them to share false content. Impression Management in the Echo-Chamber: How Self-Censorship Biases Evidence-Sharing *Ike Silver (University of Pennsylvania, USA); Deborah Small (University of Pennsylvania, USA); Geoffrey Goodwin (University of Pennsylvania, USA) Two preregistered experiments (N=819) find evidence of self-censorship effects in information- sharing among political allies: Consumers omit from conversation evidence they believe to be factual and relevant to important social issues (e.g., gun control, climate change) if bringing up such evidence might cast public doubt on their loyalty to valued political causes. Understanding and Reducing the Spread of Misinformation Online 3 First Virtual 2020 ACR Conference Program October 1-4, 2020 Gordon Pennycook (University of Regina, Canada); *Ziv Epstein (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA); Mohsen Mosleh (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA); Antonio Arechar (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA); Dean Eckles (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA); David Rand (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA) Why do people share misinformation, and what can be done about it? Across survey experiments and a Twitter field experiment, we find inducing people to think about the accuracy increases the quality of the news they share. This suggests the problem is distraction and offers a scalable anti- misinformation intervention. Being a Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence - Special Session, Special Session 01 Session Chairs: Gizem Yalcin, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands; Nofar Duani, New York University, USA Defending the Human Need to be Seen: Recipient Identifiability Aggravates Algorithm Aversion in Resource Allocation Decisions Adelle Xue Yang (National University of Singapore, Singapore); *Jasper Teow (National University of Singapore, Singapore) Algorithms are increasingly utilized in resource allocation decisions. Seven pre-registered experiments (N = 2,732) show that the identifiability of a decision recipient aggravates algorithm aversion. This is because an identifiable recipient induces stronger empathic reactions than statistical recipients, and highlights the concern that algorithms cannot produce emotions. The Human Black Box: Illusionary Understanding Drives Preference for Human Over Algorithmic Decision-Making *Andrea Bonezzi (New York University, USA); Massimiliano Ostinelli (Winthrop University); Johann Melzner (New York University, USA) Previous research shows that consumers are hesitant to trust algorithmic over human decision- makers. In this research, we show that this phenomenon is in part driven by the fact that consumers foster an illusion of understanding human decision-makers better than algorithmic decision-makers, when in fact

  • Nonlinear Hedonic Pricing: a Confirmatory Study of South African Wines
    International Journal of Wine Research Dovepress open access to scientific and medical research Open Access Full Text Article ORIGINAL RESEARCH Nonlinear hedonic pricing: a confirmatory study of South African wines David A Priilaid1 Abstract: With a sample of South African red and white wines, this paper investigates the Paul van Rensburg2 relationship between price, value, and value for money. The analysis is derived from a suite of regression models using some 1358 wines drawn from the 2007 period, which, along with red 1School of Management Studies, 2Department of Finance and Tax, and white blends, includes eight cultivars. Using the five-star rating, each wine was rated both University of Cape Town, sighted and blind by respected South African publications. These two ratings were deployed in Republic of South Africa a stripped-down customer-facing hedonic price analysis that confirms (1) the unequal pricing of consecutive increments in star-styled wine quality assessments and (2) that the relationship between value and price can be better estimated by treating successive wine quality increments as dichotomous “dummy” variables. Through the deployment of nonlinear hedonic pricing, For personal use only. fertile areas for bargain hunting can thus be found at the top end of the price continuum as much as at the bottom, thereby assisting retailers and consumers in better identifying wines that offer value for money. Keywords: price, value, wine Introduction Within economics, “hedonics” is defined as the pleasure, utility, or efficacy derived through the consumption of a particular good or service; the hedonic model thereby proposes a market of assorted products with a range of associated price, quality, and characteristic differences and a diverse population of consumers, each with a varying propensity to pay for certain attribute assemblages.

Received: 21 July 2020; Accepted: 8 August 2020; Published: 12 August 2020 Abstract: The Swedish wine industry has exponentially grown in the last decade. However, Swedish wines remain largely unknown internationally. In this study, the typicality and sensory space of a set of twelve wines, including five Swedish Solaris wines, was evaluated blind by Swedish wine experts. The aim of the work was to evaluate whether the Swedish wine experts have a common concept of what a typical Solaris wines should smell and taste like or not and, also, to bring out more information about the sensory space and chemical composition of Solaris wines. The results showed a lack of agreement among the wine experts regarding the typicality of Solaris wines. This, together with the results from the sensory evaluation, could suggest the possibility of different wine styles for Solaris wines.

  • Årsrapport 2014
    Arcus-Gruppen AS | Annual Report 2014 DIRECTORS’ REPORT ArcusGruppen is a leading wine and spirits company in the Nordic region. Its head office is located at Gjelleråsen in Nittedal Municipality. The Group is the global leader in the aquavit market, the market leader in spirits in Norway and Denmark and the market leader and market runner-up in wine in Norway and Sweden, respectively. ArcusGruppen continues to strengthen its position in the Nordic market with revenue growth of 4.7%. External revenue for Wine increased by 8.5% in 2014 and decreased by 1.7% for Spirits. The strong revenue growth for Wine is primarily due to new, attractive agencies and new products. The weakening of SEK and NOK during the year, however, resulted in increased purchasing costs in 2014, which have not been fully offset by changes to the sales price. This has put pressure on profitability. A long-term repositioning of important brands in Spirits contributed to slightly reduced revenue and profitability in the Norwegian market in 2014. The Danish brands are developing as expected following their acquisition in 2013. The production facilities at Gjelleråsen reported positive productivity growth in 2014. FINANCIAL GROWTH Earnings in detail Consolidated operating revenue was MNOK 2,150 in 2014, which represents an increase of MNOK 97 (4.7%) compared to 2013. This increase is mainly attributable to growth in the Wine business area, which reported an increase in external operating revenue of MNOK 99. The Spirits business area reported a decline in its operating revenue of MNOK 14. Profit before tax, financial items, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was MNOK 311, which is MNOK 21 (6.4%) lower than last year.

  • Testing the Hedonic Relationship Between Wine Quality and Price
    A Hedonic Price Analysis for the New Zealand Wine Industry: Preliminary Results Katie Bicknell Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand e-mail: [email protected] Lana Friesen Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand Ian MacDonald Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand Paper presented at the 2005 NZARES Conference Tahuna Conference Centre – Nelson, New Zealand. August 26-27, 2005. Copyright by author(s). Readers may make copies of this document for non-commercial purposes only, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. A Hedonic Price Analysis for the New Zealand Wine Industry: Preliminary Results Katie Bicknell1, Lana Friesen and Ian MacDonald Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand Abstract This paper presents preliminary results from a hedonic price analysis of premium wines in New Zealand over the vintages 1994 – 2003. Implicit prices are presented for a sensory quality rating, as well as wine variety and regional reputation. Results show that the price premium associated with Michael Cooper‟s five-star quality rating is highly significant and increasing in magnitude over the study period. Trends in regional and varietal preferences are also explored. Keywords: Hedonic pricing, New Zealand wine, quality 1. Introduction Wine is a differentiated product for which information about its true quality is limited until the time of consumption. As a consequence, buyers must use other indicators of a wine‟s value in order to make purchase decisions. Some potential indicators of a wine‟s quality such as the vintage, the region and the varietal are easily obtained from the wine‟s label prior to purchase.2 Other, more subjective, indicators of quality come in the form of quality rankings or recommendations from wine experts, and the receipt of various wine awards.

    Una función de precios hedónicos para el vino español de calidad en el año 2000 (*) JOSÉ MORILLA CRITZ (**) ALFONSO MARTÍNEZ VALDERRAMA (***) 1. INTRODUCCIÓN Debido a que variables como el precio o la renta disponible son inca- paces de explicar la demanda de vino de calidad (1) en un alto grado (ver Labys 1976, 35) hay que intentar explicar el precio (que, en con- diciones de una oferta predeterminada, es tanto como decir la pro- pia demanda) de este tipo de vino en función de otras características de tipo cualitativo o atributos. La identificación y la estimación que se da en el mercado a los atributos del vino puede ayudar a las deci- siones de inversión a largo plazo de los productores o a las de com- pra de los distribuidores y consumidores.
