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...

A storm between two waves : recovery processes, social dynamics, and heterogeneous effects of Typhoon Haiyan on social preferences
Steimanis, Ivo; Burger, Max; Hayo, Bernd; Landmann, Andreas - 2023
The literature regarding the effects of environmental hazards on social preferences is mixed and partially contradictory. The lack of a baseline in these studies is a severe methodological constraint, as it is hard to identify heterogeneous treatment effects through experience in the recovery...

Nudging when the descriptive norm is low : evidence from a carbon offsetting field experiment
Carattini, Stefano; Blasch, Julia - 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...
