accounting arc – student-led conversations
with harshita multani
center for accounting transformation
on accounting arc – student-led conversations, host harshita multani interviews ron baker—author, educator, and sought-after speaker—about price discrimination and the psychology behind everyday pricing. across coffee shops, hotels, streaming platforms, and movie theaters, baker says the same principle repeats: value is subjective, so pricing must be, too.

baker argues that pricing “behaves like art” because people don’t act like predictable particles. the goal is not perfect prediction, but rather constant testing: offering options, observing behavior, and refining strategy. that framing aligns with a growing body of hospitality research that shows how subtle cues—like removing the “$” symbol—change spending patterns. cornell researchers find diners spend significantly more when menus list numerals without currency signs, a choice many premium venues intentionally make.
