Accounts of accounts: en route to an economic psychology of personal finance

Article Abstract:

The works of Winnett and Lewis (1995) and Ranyard and Craig (1995) both addressed mental and household accounts. The first work focused on savings behavior while the second focused on consumers' perceptions of instalment credit. It is argued that the results of these two studies are questionable because of the researchers' use of convenience samples and their reliance on people imagined behavior in hypothetical situations.

Perspectives in economic psychology

Article Abstract:

The Journal of Economic Psychology devoted its Apr. 1997 issue to papers that were inspired by Prof. Karl-Erik Warneryd as a tribute to this economic psychologist. He retired as chief of the Stockholm School of Economics' Dept. of Economic Psychology in 1992 but has continued to be a full-time researcher. The special issue was a way for the Journal to express its respect and appreciation for his achievements in the field.
