Abstract

The Big Switch enabled the observation of over a hundred thousand ‘real’ switching decisions by participants in a collective switching exercise in 2012. This report presents some of the findings and early analysis. Our main initial findings are that: 1. The probability of switching rises with increases in the gains available; 2. Despite substantial gains available (median value around a tenth of the bill), and very little further effort required to switch, only a third of participants switched supplier; 3. Participants who saw two offers were less likely to switch than those who saw only one.
