    Abstract: Origin labelling is one of the most important strategy in the Green Morocco Policy with which the Moroccan government aims to support the marketing of domestically produced food and then improves the income of smallholder farmers. This study analyses this strategy using a market comparison between two products, a PGI labelled product Clementine of Berkane and a non-labelled product Cherries of Sefrou-Ifrane. A survey with 500 consumers was conducted in 2016. Using the Analytical Hierarchy Process methodology, we study the Moroccan consumer preferences and compare the hierarchy of different attributes and sub-attributes of both products. We evaluate the importance of the origin and the visibility of the new established quality sign of origin in the Moroccan market. Results show the importance of origin and the intrinsic characteristics of the product when Moroccan consumers purchase both products. The hierarchy obtained by the AHP for the Clementine of Berkane shows that the high juicy content , Origin and the PGI are the most important attributes for Moroccan consumers. While for Cherries of Sefrou-Ifrane, Origin and the attribute Juicy-soft fruit are the most important attributes. The visibility of the quality sign of origin still limited in the Moroccan market comparing to other product attributes. Acknowledgement :

    Abstract: Prior research on anchoring indicates that arbitrary values can influence human judgment and decision-making. However, the findings differ regarding the magnitude of this effect, implying that in some circumstances the anchoring phenomena may not occur at all. The present research suggests that this behavior is not universal and attempts to identify how consumer self-confidence (CSC), a personal trait, and product category (hedonic vs. utilitarian) may affect consumers? susceptibility to anchoring effect on participants? willingness to pay. Although the moderation relationship could not be proved, it was statistically demonstrated that the kind of consumption (utilitarian/hedonic) accounts for 25% of the variability of consumer?s willingness-to-pay. Overall, this research contributes to the literature on Consumer Behavior, by shedding light on personal traits and product features that can shape anchoring response.

    Abstract: Online customer reviews (OCRs) are increasingly used by travelers to inform their purchase decisions. However, the vast amount of reviews available nowadays may increase travellers' effort in information processing. In order to facilitate traveller's decisions, social commerce organizations must help travellers rapidly identify the most helpful reviews to reduce their cognitive effort. Academic literature has often documented that negative reviews are judged as helpful by consumers. However, extremely negative reviews are not always perceived as such. This study is the first that unveils what factors moderate the influence of extremely negative reviews on review helpfulness. The study has adopted a sample of 7,455 online customer reviews of hotels to test hypotheses. Findings show that reviews with extremely negative ratings are more likely to be helpful when the review is long and easy to read and when the reviewer is an expert or discloses his identity (geographical origin).
