Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird mit Hilfe der Szenario-Technik auf Basis eines Nutzen-Kosten-Modells untersucht, welche Anreize für inländische Kraftfahrer bei gegebenen Kraftstoffpreisdifferenzen gegenüber dem Ausland bestehen, den benötigten Kraftstoff jenseits der Landesgrenze zu beziehen....

The interconnection among different choices by the same decision-maker is fairly well established in the literature. Along this line, this paper aims to identify how preferences for electromobility are affected by mode choices for regular trips. With this purpose in mind, a framework based on...

This paper analyzes a bike-sharing service from both network efficiency and demand profiles perspectives. Specifically, it focuses on the BIZI service in the city of Zaragoza (Spain), which was launched in May 2008 with the aim of increasing the use of the bicycle in the city. Since then, the...

This research assesses preferences for clean-fuel vehicles (CFVs) versus the conventional vehicle using a discrete choice experiment. The results show that although consumers value environmental impact, vehicle performance characteristics are critical to choice. It is found that regulation is...

This paper shows how sustainable consumption patterns can spread within a population via processes of social learning even though a strong individual learning bias may favor environmentally harmful products. We present a model depicting how the biased transmission of different behaviors via...

Strong growth in disposable income has inflated consumption to unprecedented, but not sustainable levels. In this process consumer behavior has been changing. To explain the driving forces of this development, the paper introduces a theory of evolving consumer preferences that is molded in an...

Are efficiency improvements in the use of natural resources the key for sustainable development, are they the solution to environmental problems, or will second round effects -so-called rebound effects- compensate or even overcompensate potential savings, will they fire back? The answer to this...
