The Aging Consumer Summary

The Aging Consumer: Perspectives From Psychology and Economics by Aimee Drolet

At present, about 45 million Americans are over the age of 65, and by 2020, one out of every six Americans will be 65 or older. These statistics are reflective of a worldwide phenomenon in developing and developed countries alike unrivalled since the Industrial Revolution.

This edited volume, written by experts in many fields, examines the economic and psychological research on how aging consumers behave, make decisions, and choose in the marketplace. The book takes stock of what is known, identifies gaps and open questions, and outlines an agenda for future research. It covers topics from the individual to the societal level of analysis.

The Aging Consumer Reviews

This book brings together in one volume wide ranging research into the changing consumption patterns of the aging population and the theoretical and practical implications of these changes. It is a scholarly approach to an under researched issue; it is likely to be taken by just about any 'self resepecting' academic library. - Susan Auty, Lancaster University, UK

Despite the greying of the population (to which I can personally attest), too little has been done to examine the important intersection between research on aging and consumer research. Such work is critical due to the increased complexity of the world facing older consumers, including health, housing, retirement, and other important decisions. The chapters in this volume provide much needed insights into how age may moderate the typical findings of consumer research, which increases not only our understanding of this important segment but also the prospects for developing interventions that will enhance the lives of elderly consumers. - Jim Bettman, Duke University, USA

First-rate, surprisingly frank, and genuinely entertaining - on a topic that is important now and will only increase in importance in the next decade. It's been a long time since there has been so enjoyable a book, so deeply entrenched in scientific findings, and it will be a long time until another like it comes along. The book is marvelous! - Jennifer L. Aaker, Stanford University, USA
