If consumers become pessimistic the economy is likely to experience?

If consumers become pessimistic, the economy is likely to experience a decline in consumer spending, as people tend to save more and reduce expenditures during uncertain times.

Additionally, businesses may cut back on investment and hiring, further exacerbating economic challenges.

Why do advertisements provide biased information?

Experts face a problem getting paid for their opinions. Consumers are uncertain of the quality of the opinion before it is revealed, and they have the option of opportunistically underpaying after it is revealed. Two common solutions to this problem are the advertising model, in which experts bundle content with advertising, and the subscription model, in which experts charge for access and subscription fees are based on reputation. In this paper, we study a third model which we call the bias model: the expert bundles information with bias and payment comes in the form of influence over consumers' actions. The expert can either bias information to match her own tastes or business interests, or she can sell the bias to another party. In situations where direct payments for bias are unseemly, one might expect the bundling of bias with other services, such as advertising.
