brand) is favored, holding the objective qualities of the items constant. Brand equity research suggests that the quality of a brand is more important than the ranking of a product within a brand. Our research documents a robust ranking effect—whereby a high-ranking product in a low-status category is favored over a low-ranking product in a high-status category even when information on competing categories is made available. We explain this effect in terms of narrow focusing and evaluability, and we identify boundary conditions of the effect. Key words: brand choice; brand product management; ranking effect; narrow focusing; evaluability History: This paper was received August 20, 2002, and was with the authors 17 months for 3 revisions; pr...
