Abstract
Counterfeiting is one of the fastest growing industries in the world with actual losses extremely difficult to predict but estimated to be in excess of $10 trillion (Green and Smith 2002). Research in this area tends to focus on supply-side issues. The current study, however, examines the demand-side and focuses on Indonesian consumers’ willingness to buy counterfeit products. Two factors, product extrinsic cues (i.e. brand and price) and product involvement, are examined for their influence on consumers’ willingness to purchase known counterfeit goods. The results indicate that brand name provides consistent effects across involvement levels but that price is an effective indicator only in the high involvement purchase situation.
