Clerides, S., & Courty, P. (2017). 'Sales, quantity surcharge, and consumer inattention.' The Review of Economics and Statistics, 99(2), 357-370. doi:10.1162/rest_a_00562. Verified at the published record 2026-09-25; an earlier draft of this article cited the 2010 working-paper version. Quantity surcharges occur when a firm markets a product in two sizes and promotes the small one, so that the large size costs more per unit; sales of the large size decrease only slightly despite the small size being cheaper, which the authors describe as consistent with rational inattention. This publication cites it as a working paper and has not obtained a published version.
