Abstract
This research posits that lower proximity among popular objects promotes exploration and reduces fixation effects (i.e., consideration of a limited number of alternatives). Yet, with the ironic effect that larger search effort increases consumer expenses. We provide evidence for this theorizing across various field and lab settings, and assortment formats.
