Evolving Choice Sets: the Effect of Dynamic (Vs. Static) Choice Sets on Preferences

Most decision-making research examines static choice sets, with fixed options presented all at once. However, choice sets often evolve dynamically, with new alternatives arising during the decision process. We show that compared to static presentation of the same options, the dynamic choice set presentation can shift preferences in opposing directions.
