A brief description of the project's goals and its current state Abstract <p>Why are micro, small, and medium enterprises slow to adopt profitable business practices? We test the role of three behavioral biases: present bias, limited memory, and overconfidence about memory. In partnership with a payments financial technology (FinTech) provider in Mexico, we randomly offer businesses that are already users of the payments technology the opportunity to be charged a lower merchant fee for each payment they receive. We randomly vary whether the firms face a deadline to register for this lower fee, whether they receive a reminder, and whether the reminder is anticipated (i.e., whether we tell them in advance that they will receive a reminder on a certain date).</p> The full abstract of the study, if available Links https://www.socialscienceregistry.org/trials/6540 Links to any published papers and related discussions Authors * Affiliations Academic and other institutes that the authors of the study are members of Delivery partner Organisations involved in delivering the trial, if appropriate Year Year Year199419951996199719981999200020012002200320042005200620072008200920102011201220132014201520162017201820192020202120222023202420252026 Month MonthJanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec Day Day12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031 Journal Journal publishing the study, if available Publication stage * Working Paper Published Ongoing Research Forthcoming Discussion Paper Research theme * Entrepreneurship Innovation Business Growth Country Country or countries where this study took place.
