Can commitments cause counterpreferential choices?

Messerli, Michael; Reuter, Kevin (2023). Can commitments cause counterpreferential choices? Journal of Economic Methodology, 30(2):94-106.

Abstract

Commitments are crucial for our lives but there is no consensus on how commitments and preferences relate to each other. In this paper, we present three empirical studies that provide evidence that people sometimes choose a less preferred option when they have made a commitment.
