Abstract

This article aimed to analyze the effect that is caused by the disclosure of credit terms in buying a particular product, measured in two levels the propensity of individuals to consume some credit. In addition, it has analyzed whether this relationship is moderated by debt literacy and purchasing power in cash. It was an experiment that manipulated the information of credit buying conditions ina sample of 60 people. The main findings were that a greater amount of information in the credit purchase conditions results in a greater propensity for individuals to consume this credit, meaning the expected inverse effect. And in a scenario with much information on credit buying conditions, the level of financial debt knowledge tends to increase the propensity of individuals to consume on credit. Keywords: Information disclosure. Credit purchase. Propensity of purchase. Experiment
