The Moderating Effects of Option Entry Timing on Attraction and Compromise Effects

This paper examines the moderating effects of the timing of entry of a third option on attraction and compromise effects. Results show that later entry of a decoy into the choice set eliminates the attraction effect. In contrast, the compromise effect is not affected by the timing of entry of an extreme option.
