Do environmental benefits matter? A choice experiment among house owners in Germany

Achtnicht, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2010

Residential buildings strongly contribute to global CO2 emissions due to the high energy demand for electricity and heating, particularly in industrialised countries. Within the EU, decentralised heat generation is of particular relevance for future climate policy, as its emissions are not...

Is it Who You Ask or How You Ask? Findings of a Meta-Analysis on Genetically Modified Food Valuation Studies

Dannenberg, Astrid - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2008

This paper presents a meta-analysis of 46 primary studies reporting a total of 108 genetically modified food valuation … estimates. The analysis shows that elicitation methods and formats used in the primary studies affect valuation estimates much … time. Previous findings are confirmed that consumer valuation strongly depends on the type of food product and varies among …

Bigger cakes with less ingredients? A comparison of material use of the world economy

Pothen, Frank; Schymura, Michael - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014

The amount of materials used worldwide in production and consumption increased by 56 per cent from 1995 to 2008. Using an index decomposition analysis based on the logarithmic mean divisia index, we investigate the drivers of material use, both on a global and a country scale. We exploit a panel...

German car buyers' willingness to pay to reduce CO2 emissions

Achtnicht, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2012

Motorized individual transport strongly contributes to global CO2 emissions, due to its intensive usage of fossil fuels. Current political efforts addressing this issue (i.e. emission performance standards in the EU) are directed towards car manufacturers. This paper focuses on the demand side....

Accounting for uncertainty in willingness to pay for environmental benefits

Daziano, Ricardo A.; Achtnicht, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

Previous literature on the distribution of willingness to pay has focused on its heterogeneity distribution without addressing exact interval estimation. In this paper we derive and analyze Bayesian confidence sets for quantifying uncertainty in the determination of willingness to pay for carbon...

Revealed preferences for climate protection when the purely individual perspective is relaxed: Evidence from a framed field experiment

Löschel, Andreas; Sturm, Bodo; Uehleke, Reinhard - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

In this paper, we investigate the real demand for climate protection when the purely individual perspective of existing revealed preference studies is relaxed. This is achieved in two treatments; first, we determine the information subjects receive about the demand revealed by other subjects in...
