The Compromise Effect in Post-Purchase Consumption Behavior
We investigate the compromise effect on post-purchase consumption. Field and lab experiments suggest the selection of an intermediate option in a choice set leads to an increase in number and value of (complementary) items purchased after the first. The higher difficulty related to such compromise decision seems mediating this effect.
