In this paper, we investigate both short- and long-term impacts of financial stimuli on public goods provision when contributions are tied to individual harm-related behavior. We conduct a large-scaled field experiment to examine voluntary contributions to a carbon offsetting program during the...

Bei der 26. UN-Klimakonferenz in Glasgow geht es um die Umsetzung der Ziele aus dem Pariser Klimaschutzabkommen. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die schrittweise Zielerhöhung der einzelnen Länder, die sich anschließend in konkreten Klimaschutzbeiträgen widerspiegeln sollen. Der vorliegende ZEW...

We study the effect of a subtle change in the choice architecture on offsetting behavior. In a large-scale field experiment, we examine repeated voluntary contributions to a carbon offsetting program during the online purchase of long-distance bus tickets. In the control group, travelers had the...

The Paris Agreement aims at limiting the global average temperature increase to well below 2°C above preindustrial levels. A key component of the agreement are "nationally determined contributions" (NDC). For this, non-state actors such as civil society groups, economic actors, and subnational...

With the increasing recognition of the use of reforestation measures as a complement to conventional carbon emissions avoidance technologies it is important to understand the market valuation of local forest carbon sinks for climate change mitigation. We conducted a framed-field experiment among...
