This study investigates spatial autocorrelation in consumer preferences for diverse ecolabels, such as certified ecolabel (type I) and non-certified ecolabel (type II). Ecolabels encourage consumers to purchase environmentally friendly products by informing them of production methods, but their...

In two experiments on the choice of consumer goods, the estimated marginal willingness to pay for food are found to be lower in the survey version with cheap talk. Our test can be seen as a test of hypothetical bias. This implies we cannot reject the hypothesis of a hypothetical bias for...

There is an emerging body of literature analyzing how smallholder farmers in developing countries can be linked to modern supply chains. However, most of the available studies concentrate on farm and farmer characteristics, failing to capture details of institutional arrangements between farmers...

Farmers' preferences for sustainability certification are analyzed, building on a choice experiment conducted with smallholder coffee growers in Uganda. Farmers have positive general attitudes towards certification. While they dislike bans of productivity-enhancing inputs, benefits associated...

With the modernization of global agri-food systems, the role of contract farming is increasing. This also involves smallholder farmers in developing countries. While previous studies have looked at economic impacts of contract schemes on smallholder farmers, little is known about farmers'...

Given the increasing number of applications in agriculture of gene editing, specifically CRISPR, it is important to understand consumers' perceptions of this breeding technology. We estimate consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for selected quality attributes of table grapes developed using...
