27、as dying down, though he could still see some flames.

41、t who wants to predict the way in which consumers（ 消費(fèi)者）will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist were asked which of the three groups borrow most p

42、eople with rising incomes, stable incomes, or decreasing incomes he would probably answer: those with decreasing incomes. Actually, in the years 1947-1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with decreasing incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This sho

43、ws us that traditional assumptions（假設(shè)）about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying.

44、 this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. "In a few months,“ she said, "we'll have to pay more for meat and milk; we 'll have less

45、to spend on other things." Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be disliked and buyer' s resistance may be produced. This is shown by the following typical comment: “I just don '

46、t pay these prices; they are too high.”The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. The condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the comm

47、on business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology（ 心理學(xué)）. 56.

48、iscourage consumers to spend moneyC. carry out investigations on consumer behavior and get data on consumers ' incomes and money spending motivesD. do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory57.
