Nudging When the Descriptive Norm is Low : Evidence from a Carbon Offsetting Field Experiment

Carattini, Stefano - 2020

Nudges and behavioral interventions have become a popular tool to stimulate prosocial behavior. Little is known, however, on how to design effective social interventions in contexts in which the descriptive norm is low, i.e. when a desirable behavior is only practiced by a minority within the...

Correcting consumer misperceptions about CO2 emissions

Imai, Taisuke; Pace, Davide Domenico; Schwardmann, Peter; … - 2022

Policy makers put great emphasis on the role of information about carbon emissions in achieving sustainable decisions by consumers. We conduct two studies to understand the optimal targeting of such information and its effects. First, we conduct an incentivized and representative survey among US...

Identity and Voluntary Efforts for Climate Protection

Gleue, Marvin; Harrs, Sören; Feldhaus, Christoph; … - 2022

Voluntary contributions to public goods may be motivated by a desire to be a moral person, or in other words, by identity concerns. In a field experiment (N=373) we test how positive and negative shocks to subjects' environmental identity affect voluntary efforts for climate protection. In a...

Knowledge about aerosol injection does not reduce individual mitigation efforts

Merk, Christine; Pönitzsch, Gert; Rehdanz, Katrin - 2015

undermine commitment to the mitigation of greenhouse gases (Lawrence & Crutzen 2013; Schneider 2001). Policymakers, interest … groups or individuals might wrongly perceive SAI as an easy fix for climate change and accordingly reduce their mitigation … field experiment with more than 650 participants, we show that people do not back-pedal on mitigation when they learn that …

Not in my backyard : CCS storage sites and public perception of CCS

Braun, Carola - 2016

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a technology that counteracts climate change by capturing atmospheric emissions of CO2 from human activities, storing them in geological formations underground. However, CCS also involves major risks and side effects, and faces strong public opposition....

A model united nations experiment on climate negotiations

Hofmann, Elisa; Kyriacou, Lucas; Schmidt, Klaus M. - 2021

Weitzman (2014) proposed that focusing international climate negotiations on a uniform carbon price is more effective than Paris style negotiations in achieving ambitious climate action. We put this hypothesis to an experimental test by simulating international negotiations on climate change in...

Working title: do municipal climate protection activities interfere with individual engagement?

Bartels, Lara Esther; Kesternich, Martin - 2021 - Version: March 1, 2021

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...

A model United Nations experiment on climate negotiations

Hofmann, Elisa; Kyriacou, Lucas; Schmidt, Klaus M. - In: Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik 243 (2023) 5, pp. 543-566

Weitzman, M.L. (2014. Can negotiating a uniform carbon price help to internalize the global warming externality? J. Assoc. Environ. Resour. Econ. 1: 29-49) proposed that focusing international climate negotiations on a uniform common commitment (such as a uniform carbon price) is more effective...

Carbon prices for the next hundred years

Gerlagh, Reyer; Liski, Matti - 2014

World income grows fast without verifiable climate-change impacts on the economy. The growth spell can end if climate impacts turn real but this can take decades to learn. We develop a tractable stochastic climate-economy model with a hidden-state impact process to evaluate the contributions of...
