Abstract

The act of tipping is very much a novelty to most New Zealanders - reserved only for truly exceptional service or the most exclusive restaurants. Yet in the United States tipping is very much a social norm, with tips in US restaurants alone estimated at $USD 26 billion a year (almost a third of New Zealand's GDP). Steen Videbeck's been looking at some of the economic research on tipping.
