Husband-Wife Influence in Family Purchasing Behavior

Robert Ferber; Lucy Chao Lee

Abstract

Using the concept of a family financial officer (FFO), the family is found to be not homogeneous in its financial and purchase behavior. Thus, if the husband is the FFO, the couple is more likely to save a higher proportion of income and in variable dollar forms, and to purchase automobiles less frequently.
