Summary: This study focuses on the optimal design of credit refund policies, taking into account the repeated interactions between the seller and consumers. The findings show that a credit refund policy facilitates intraconsumer price discrimination and an optimal policy often involves an intermediate credit expiration term, which leads to a demand induction effect. The study also suggests that a credit refund policy can be more profitable than a cash refund policy and benefit both the firm and consumers under certain conditions.

Summary: This research examines the American perception of Chinese-brand electric vehicles and their effects on purchase intention. The study finds that eco-consciousness does not directly influence consumers' willingness to purchase, but is mediated by quality judgment and perceived value of the product. Consumers' animosity indirectly affects purchase intention by eroding their perceived value of Chinese-brand electric vehicles.
