Allocation Between Alternatives: the Role of Tradeoffs
We show that relatively symmetric allocation results from a deliberative decision process where consumers engage in tradeoffs. More tradeoffs result in reduced differences in attributes weights thereby making alternatives appear equally appealing. We thus address the gap in the allocation literature by identifying the process underlying symmetric (and asymmetric) allocation.
