This dissertation investigates consumer-related influencing factors on heterogeneous new product adoption behavior in the German food market. The focus is on attitudes, habit, and internal reference prices as latent moderators of heterogeneous effects of product attributes. The research questions are addressed by employing household panel data and multilevel modeling. Since it is necessary to account for the special structure of household panel data, this dissertation also addresses methodological research questions with respect to multilevel modeling for analyzing this type of data.
