Can Co-Management Improve the Governance of a Common-Pool Resource? Lessons from a Framed Field Experiment in a Marine Protected Area in the Colombian Caribbean
Moreno Sánchez, Rocio del Pilar; Maldonado, Jorge H - 2009
Complexities associated with the management of common pool resources (CPR) threaten governance at some marine protected areas (MPA). In this paper, using economic experimental games (EEG), we investigate the effects of both external regulation and the complementarities between internal...

Increasing the Energy Cognizance of Electricity Consumers in Mexico : Results From a Field Experiment
Stojanovski, Ognen - 2020
We report on the results of a field experiment in Puebla, Mexico that informed randomly-selected households facing a nonlinear price schedule about how different electricity-consuming actions might change their electricity bills. Households that received this 20-minute, in-person intervention...

Information nudges, subsidies, and crowding out of attention : field evidence from energy efficiency investments
Rodemeier, Matthias; Löschel, Andreas - 2023
How can information substitute or complement financial incentives such as Pigouvian subsidies? We answer this question … in a large-scale field experiment that cross-randomizes energy efficiency subsidies with information about the financial … savings of LED lighting. Information has two effects: It shifts and rotates demand curves. The direction of the shift is …

Social Comparisons in Real Time : A Field Experiment of Residential Electricity and Water Use
Kažukauskas, Andrius - 2017
A large body of literature shows that the provision of social comparisons can cause households to reduce residential energy and water use. In this paper, we carry out a field experiment that contributes to this literature in two important ways. First, we study a social comparison treatment that...
