Consumer behavior is one of the most extensively researched areas in microeconomics. Initially, the field was dominated by approaches based on neoclassical economics. The most fundamental of these early approaches was expected utility theory, which argued that consumers have complete information about each product, evaluate that information in a deliberate and exhaustive manner, and ultimately choose the product that has the greatest utility (subject to constraints of money, availability, etc.)
