Research

Campbell's research concerns the reactions of consumers to actions of companies and brands.

Campbell's work on price fairness (building on earlier work of Kahneman, Knetsch, and Thaler^[6]) examines the circumstances under which consumers are likely to consider a price increase fair or unfair.^[7]

Campbell's work (joint with Amna Kirmani) on persuasion knowledge examines how consumers are likely to react to attempts at persuasion while shopping.^[8]
