By using a choice experiment, this paper focuses on citizens’ preferences for effort-sharingrules of how carbon abatement should be shared among countries. We find that Swedes do notrank the rule favoring their own country highest. Instead, they prefer the rule where allcountries are allowed...

The Porter hypothesis suggests that environmental regulations, such as restricting firms to reduce pollution, stimulates innovations and create a win-win situation for the environment and for firms. It has received a great deal of attention from academics as well as bureaucrats who disagree...

How does a choice experiment (CE) model derived under standard preference axioms perform for respondents with incomplete preferences? Using simulated data, we show how such miss-specification results in unnecessary noise and bias in welfare estimates, and can be avoided.
