Interacting consumer characteristics with product characteristics generates more desirable substitution patterns in discrete choice models
Integrating consumer characteristics with product attributes in discrete choice models successfully captures preference heterogeneity and explains more desirable substitution patterns.
The retrieved papers consistently employ interaction terms, latent class models, or subgroup analyses combining consumer characteristics (demographics, past experience, attitudes) with product attributes in discrete choice experiments. These methods successfully account for preference heterogeneity and generate nuanced substitution patterns, directly supporting the claim.

Paper [2] demonstrates through interaction analysis that segmenting choices by consumer characteristics reveals significant preference heterogeneity for specific product features.
