Consumer price perception in virtual environments

It is hard in a few paragraphs to sum up a doctoral
thesis of nearly 500 pages that represents the work
of several years, though it is possible to highlight
the most notable aspects in scientific and technical
terms, especially in the economic and social field.
The specific focus of the thesis is an analysis of
the effect of the currency changeover on consumer
behaviour with regard to prices.
As conclusions of this work we may highlight the
importance and usefulness of the computer tool for
simulating a virtual shopping environment in the
analysis of consumer behaviour on the basis of a
conceptual and applied study of how certain
dimensions of perception and the decision-making
process are affected by two factors. The use of the
computer tool allows us to identify new concepts and
to make an analysis of the cognitive process
associated with a decision-making event in a dynamic
and precise way.
