Hypothetical examples illustrating that bundle size in the uncompensated and compensated budget condition depends on the baseline preferences for chocolate
| Example ID | Baseline condition | Uncompensated budget condition | Compensated budget condition | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chocolate | Vanilla | Bundle size | Chocolate | Vanilla | Bundle size | Chocolate | Vanilla | Bundle size | |
| Rat A, high chocolate preference | 40 | 0 | 40 | 20 | 0 | 20 | 40 | 0 | 40 |
| Rat B, medium chocolate preference | 30 | 10 | 40 | 15 | 20 | 35 | 30 | 10 | 40 |
| Rat C, no preference for chocolate | 20 | 20 | 40 | 12 | 32 | 44 | 20 | 20 | 40 |
The table shows the expected bundle composition and bundle size in the baseline, uncompensated and compensated budget conditions if rats maintained their baseline choice strategy after price/budget changes.
