Applied Economics Letters, 2011, vol. 18, issue 15, 1491-1495

Abstract: This article reports data from a questionnaire study indicating that in a consumer choice problem, additional choice options can cause a tangible disutility that people prefer to avoid if the additional options exhibit features that conflict with those of the old ones, for example, lottery tickets (gambling) and health-care products (health and reliability).
