Danish farmers have been far less interested in agri-environmental subsidy schemes than anticipated. We use choiceexperiments to estimate 486 Danish farmers’ preferences for a number of policy relevant scheme-characteristics.Subsidy schemes for pesticide free buffer zones along hedgerows are...

The paper investigates to what extent context dependency is present, when consumers are introduced to different risk reducing technologies and how this will affect their preferences for reductions in food risks. In particular, choice experiments are used to elicit consumer preferences for...

Economic modelling generally assumes that businesses are profit maximisers. However, behavioural economics holds that businesses pursue multiple objectives and may even sacrifice some profit. This has implications for the effectiveness of incentive-based environmental policies. Using Danish...

Consumers’ preferences for food safety characteristics are investigated with particular focus on existence of an embedding effect. Embedding exists if consumer valuation of food safety is insensitive to scope. Two choice experiments have been conducted valuing food safety in respectively...
