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...

Does Mandatory Labeling of Genetically Modified Food Grant Consumers the Right to Know? Evidence from an Economic Experiment

Dannenberg, Astrid; Scatasta, Sara; Sturm, Bodo - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2008

Opponents of the voluntary labeling scheme for genetically modified (GM) food products often argue that consumers have the ?right to know? and therefore advocate mandatory labeling. In this paper we argue against this line of reasoning. Using experimental auctions conducted with a sample of the...

The Role of Transaction Costs and Risk Premia in the Determination of Climate Change Policy Responses

Stronzik, Marcus; Hunt, Alistair; Eckermann, Frauke; … - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2003

Transaction costs and risk have generally not been taken into account in assessing the Kyoto mechanisms JI, CDM and emissions trading. However, they can have a significant influence. With regard to the project-based mechanisms, the factor that most determines the influence of transaction costs...

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 more than do sample characteristics. Moreover,...
