van Bueren, Martin, Swait, Joffre, Adamowicz, Wiktor
Welfare economics is often employed to measure the impact of economic policies or externalities. When demand is characterized by discrete choices, static models of consumer demand are employed for this type of analysis because of the difficulty in estimating dynamic discrete choice models. In...

Choice Environment, Market Complexity and Consumer Behavior: A Theoretical and Empirical Approach for Incorporating Decision Complexity into Models of Consumer Choice
Download1999
Adamowicz, Wiktor, Swait, Joffre
Most empirical models of consumer choice assume that the decision-maker assesses all alternatives and information in a perfect information processing sense. The complexity of the choice environment, the ability of the individual to make complex decisions and the effect of choice context on the...

Adamowicz, Wiktor, Swait, Joffre
The psychology, the marketing consumer behavior and, to a much smaller extent, the economics literature have long reported evidence that decision makers utilize different decision strategies depending upon many factors (person-specific, task-specific, etc.). Such observations have generally...

Download2002
Adamowicz, Wiktor, Dosman, Donna
The behavior of households has traditionally been explained by assuming that a single decision maker maximizes utility over all members of the household subject to a budget constraint. This unitary model of household behavior has been questioned and compared to models that assume that household...

Integrating Routine, Variety Seeking and Compensatory Choice in a Utility Maximizing Framework
Download2010
Adamowicz, Wiktor, Swait, Joffre
Given the large number of choices that consumers make each day it seems likely that they will generally adopt decision strategies that minimize cognitive effort, particularly with low price products such as most items found in a supermarket. One such strategy may be to simply choose what has been...

Download1995
Phillips, William E., Murray, Eloise C., Adamowicz, Wiktor, Just, Lesley, Hatton MacDonald, Darla, Beckley, Thomas M.

Williams, Michael, Adamowicz, Wiktor, Swait, Joffre, Boxall, Peter C., Louviere, Jordan J.
Contingent valuation (CV) has been employed by economists for approximately 30 years to value changes in natural resources and environments. Estimating the value of resource improvements or damages is analogous to the problem in marketing research of estimating the demand for new products or...
