This may happen due to limited rationality of (some) consumers and the anchor price effect. When a price of a good decreases to some point, the amount demanded might stops increasing due to the loss of confidence effect: consumers’ unwillingness to buy a too cheap product. The existence of this effect was examined via questionnaire on a sample of 377 undergraduate university students from the Czech Republic, Ecuador and Spain. The main result of this experimental study is that the loss of confidence effect appeared at all three locations, which indicates that the law of demand may not be valid in its entire domain. Furthermore, the results of this study imply that a significant percentage of people make decisions of limited rationality even when facing a very simple task. In addition, statistically significant difference in rational behavior with respect to gender was found. ER -
