Do the choices of consumers who search for a product's best price exhibit risk neutral, risk averse or loss averse risk … pay for continued search and the level of price uncertainty depends on her risk preferences. Independent of the current … best price, an increase in price uncertainty encourages continued search when consumers are risk neutral. However, we prove …
