Recommended Products As Complements Or Substitutes: the Role of Recommendation Framing

We examine the impact of different framings of recommendations on consumers’ likelihood to follow them. We find that consumers are more likely to follow recommendations that are framed as user-based (e.g., “People who like this also like”) rather than item-based (e.g., “More products in this category”).
