    Abstract

    We conduct an incentivized experiment to test whether the willingness to pay is
    higher for debit cards compared to cash for three consumer products. Our
    findings support this conjecture also after controlling for cash availability,
    spending type, price familiarity and consumption habits of the products. The
    evidence thus suggests that different representations of money matters for
    consumer behavior.
