We develop and test a simple model of limited attention in intertemporal choice. The model posits that individuals fully attend to consumption in all periods but fail to attend to some future lumpy expenditure opportunities. This asymmetry generates some predictions that overlap with models of...

Debit cards are overtaking credit cards as the most prevalent form of electronic payment at the point of sale, yet the determinants of a ubiquitous consumer choice - "debit or credit?" - have received relatively little scrutiny. Several stylized facts suggest that debit-card use is driven by...

We explore dynamics of limited attention in the $35 billion market for checking overdrafts, using survey content as shocks to the salience of overdraft fees. Conditional on selection into surveys, individuals who face overdraft-related questions are less likely to incur a fee in the survey...

Despite the claim that satisfaction ratings are linked to repurchase behavior, few attempts can be found that relate satisfaction ratings to actual repurchase behavior. This article fills this void by presenting a conceptual model for relating satisfaction ratings and repurchase behavior. The...

Firms conduct customer surveys to gather their customers' voice in order to fully understand their perceptions, judgments, attitudes, intentions, and behaviors. Among firms, the practice of surveying customers is widespread. However, if conducted incorrectly, surveys can lead to significant...

Marketing scholars have hypothesized and found a linear and symmetric association between different dimensions of customer commitment and behavioral intentions. We utilize a four dimensional conceptualization of commitment to hypothesize an asymmetric association among the different dimensions...
