Consumer Coping Strategies

This study examines how households cope with financial strain. Four coping strategies, which are derived from a household production model, are examined in depth. These strategies are: (1) income expansion (increased allocation of time to market work), (2) household production (substitution of home produced goods and services for market equivalents), (3) efficient spending (strategic application of various puchasing skills), and (4) adaptive consumption (reduction in scale of spending and consumption).
