The Role of Economic Education in the Family on the Consumptive Behavior of University Students

Consumptive behavior is a behavior in humans where people spend their money to fulfill needs that tend to prioritize not only needs but unrestrained wants. This behavior is identical to the tendency in spending too much money with the inability to control purchase of goods and services that are not in priority. Impulsive shopping, lack of financial planning and the tendency to prioritize prestige within their social setting. These behaviors are frequently observable among teenagers or, in this case, university students. They would be avoidable, if students have self-control to follow a rational consumption pattern. Consumptive behavior among university students should be watched carefully because it would have an impact on students’ personal wellbeing, mental health and academic advancements. Overbuying on goods should be controlled through improvement of personal financial awareness, development of prudent financial management habit and learning to differentiate between needs and wants. The family setting, as an informal education to support formal education, has a role in forming students’ mindset. Habit formation, exemplar and explanation from parents are major elements in forming a child’s mindset to behave in an economically rational way. Habits are taught by parents. Financially responsible habits are formed by the parents in their children. Through exemplars, parents provide examples on how to consume through the practices of financial management. Explanations are provided by the parents on the importance of living prudently

A micro‐founded comparison of fiscal policies between indirect and direct job creation

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to provide a micro‐economic foundation for an argument that the direct employment by the government is more desirable than the government purchase of private goods to eliminate unemployment. A general equilibrium model with monopolistic competition is devised, and the effects of policies (government purchase, tax rate operation, and government employment) on macroeconomic variables (consumption, price, and profit) are investigated. It is shown that (1) the government purchase is inflationary in the sense that additional effective demand by the government not only increases private employment but also raises prices; (2) the government employment can achieve full employment without causing a rise in prices.

Ethical consumption and food recovery hierarchy behaviors: a clustering analysis in Japan

AbstractConsumption and waste disposal decisions can have a profound impact on the environment. The present research is focused on understanding the adoption profiles of pro-environmental behaviors (PEB) within the Japanese population. The scope of the evaluated PEB covered the purchase, usage, and disposal of food products. Ethical consumption behaviors (the purchase of little packaging, organic, eco-friendly and/or refillable goods), food waste prevention actions (leftovers avoidance, meal planning, and food waste reduction/avoidance), and alternative disposal measures (feeding animals, composting, giving food to neighbors) were analyzed. The profiles were found via a two-step clustering technique using self-reported data from a survey done in nine Japanese prefectures. The first step of the clustering algorithm comprised a hierarchical technique, and the second was a K-means with an Euclidean distance. Four significantly distinct clusters were found, namely: sporadic adopters, average practitioners, responsible consumers, and environmentally involved. Approximately 51% of the sample was allocated to the responsible consumers cluster, which was characterized by having more women in part-time jobs or in-house duties and older respondents than the other groups. Environmentally involved tended to be young respondents with children and gardening/farming interest. They were also the ones who ate plant-based meals more frequently and had healthier eating habits.

Operational and Environmental Assessment for Night Markets under the Informal Economy Impacts: Insights from the Case Study of Selangor, Malaysia

As an expression of the informal economy, the night market is not only a place that could attract locals to buy goods but also a place where tourists can experience the local characteristics. While the night market brought economic vitality to the city's economy, it also brought some issues. A comprehensive literature review of night markets revealed that existing studies paid less attention to outdoor night markets' spatial operations and waste management. Grounded in the connection between sustainability and night markets, the present study reflected on existing research findings by adopting different periods of fieldwork to conduct a case study of the night market in Jalan 17/1A, Selangor, Malaysia. The study focused on three aspects of night markets: spatial operations, waste, and waste recycling. It found that night market operations brought localized regional economic benefits while causing more severe pollution issues, significantly affecting the region's environmental health and sustainable development. The findings revealed that local government regulation of night market businesses in Malaysia is weak (the issuance of business licenses is informed of the operational guidelines), and there is also no relevant monitoring and penalties by the local government to intervene in the misbehavior of night market consumers. Based on the results of the field survey and combined with the concept of sustainable development, the present study recommended suggestions for the future spatial operation and waste management of night markets. Innovative and novel perspectives of the study combined qualitative observations and data analysis to comprehensively examine how spatial considerations and waste management strategies intersect in the unique context of night markets—aiming to fill the gaps in the sustainability of night market operations and to protect the ecology of the surrounding territorial environment, contributing to the discourse on sustainable development.

The Effect of Macroeconomic Uncertainty on Household Spending

We use randomized treatments that provide different types of information about the first and/or second moments of future economic growth to generate exogenous changes in the perceived macroeconomic uncertainty of treated households. The effects on their spending decisions relative to an untreated control group are measured in follow-up surveys. Our results indicate that, after taking into account first moments, higher macroeconomic uncertainty induces households to significantly and persistently reduce their total monthly spending in subsequent months. Changes in spending are broad based across spending categories and apply to larger durable good purchases as well. (JEL D12, D81, D84, E21, E23, G51)

Weaving transnational spaces: Peruvian and Colombian suitcase traders moving across South American borders

ABSTRACT Our study addresses suitcase trading that involves buying goods from one country and transporting them across borders in portable packages, so as to avoid government taxes. Although a globally common practice, and a significant source of income for many, we have scant understanding of suitcase trade practices in South America. Therefore, we examine how Peruvian and Colombian suitcase traders establish and sustain transnational spaces by engaging in repeated cross-border trade activities between (1) Peru and Brazil, entailing routes of 3,500 km, and (2) Colombia and Venezuela, involving routes of only 1 km. Further, to analyse the spatialities of transnational practices, a focus absent in many studies on transnationalism and transnational spaces, we propose a perspective that combines mobilities, connections, and meanings. Our study, which employs ethnographic, biographical, and participatory methods with 40 suitcase traders, reveals that transnational space is not just an abstract entity in which transnational social practices occur. Instead, it is structured by frequent or occasional mobilities along specific routes and means, by socioeconomic connections between geographically distant or proximate sites, and by the meanings that individuals give to their transnational practices. Our findings emphasize that the perspective of spatialities helps us understand the heterogeneity of transnational spaces.

Glamour & Faith: How Korean Idol Brand Ambassador and Religiosity influence Luxury Goods Purchase Intentions?

ABSTRACT This research aims to investigate the purchase intention of Muslim Kpop fans towards luxury products promoted by Kpop idols as brand ambassadors. The study employs a quantitative method with the SEM-PLS approach to analyze the data and test the proposed hypotheses. It involves 117 respondents selected through purposive sampling criteria of being Muslim Kpop fans in East Java. The research data consists of primary data obtained from questionnaires using a modified Likert 4-point format. The findings indicate that Kpop brand ambassadors significantly impact the attitudes of Muslim consumers and their intention to purchase luxury goods. While religious knowledge level weakens but not significantly, and price sensitivity does not weaken the intention of Muslim consumers to purchase luxury goods. The implications of this research expand the understanding of the dynamics of behavior among Muslim Kpop consumers regarding luxury products promoted by Kpop idols as brand ambassadors. Despite Islamic prohibitions on extravagance (tabdzir) and excessive behavior (israf) not directly reducing the purchase intention of Muslim Kpop consumers for luxury goods, it demonstrates the complexity of factors influencing their purchase decisions. Marketers can also utilize the findings of this research in planning marketing strategies, especially targeting millennial and Gen Z consumers.

ESG and Emotional Non-conformity of Goods in Contracts for International Sale of Goods

Purpose - It examines the potential applicability of the CISG to contracts involving the sale of goods with significant emotional value. And it addresses the issues on whether the delivery of non-compliant goods with ESG standards can be considered as an aspect of non-conformity under the CISG. Furthermore, it explores whether and how a corporate ESG codes of conduct can be duly incorporated into contract. Design/Methodology – In order to achieve the purposes of the study, it is based on a literature review which is related to the rules under the CISG as to the seller’s delivery of goods associated with emotions derived from the purchase of goods compliant with ESG standards. It mainly focuses on the rules of the CISG as to the incorporation of standard terms and the duty to deliver conforming goods. Findings – The main findings of this study are as follows. First, the view that it could be applicable based on CISG Art. 3(2) cannot be supported because emotions associated with the purchase of goods cannot be separated from the goods and treated as an independent part of the contractual obligations. Second, depending upon a matter of interpretation of contract one must sometimes incorporate minimum ESG standards into contract if the parties should have known or were expected to know in international trade for the type of transaction in question. Third, the aspects of conformity under the CISG include not only the physical conditions of the goods but also non-physical conditions which are related to various aspects of ESG standards. And as the minimum ESG standards increase due to the recent trend of social conscious consumerism, it is unreasonable not to hold the seller liable for the goods manufactured processed in a manner inconsistent with the standards only because they can be resold in a market which may damage fatally the buyer’s commercial reputation. Originality/value – It may offer guidance to both practicing lawyers and business professionals who are considering entering the sales market, particularly those dealing with goods produced or manufactured in accordance with ESG standards. In addition, it may render us an insight to newly developed or developing rules in this area and show us how they interact with each other.
