Agri-environmental-climate schemes provide payments for ecosystem services by compensating farmers to implement management actions or obtain ecological results. To compare farmer preferences for action-based schemes, result-based schemes, or a hybrid, we conduct a discrete choice experiment in a...

The potential of agricultural soil carbon sequestration in reducing greenhouse gases and mitigating the impacts of climate change is widely recognized. However, there is limited knowledge of farmers’ preferences and willingness to accept carbon payments to switch to carbon-sequestering...

This paper uses life satisfaction data to help the design of climate mitigation policies in the United Kingdom. We assess the effects of the exposure to ambient pollutants on long-term life satisfaction and short-term mental health in the UK. We estimate augmented Cobb-Douglas utility functions...

We study the welfare effects of offering choice over coverage levels—“vertical choice”—in regulated health insurance markets. We emphasize that heterogeneity in the efficient level of coverage is not sufficient to motivate choice. When premiums do not reflect individuals' costs, it may...

What do markets for voluntary climate protection imply about people's valuations of en- vironmental protection? I study this question in a large-scale field experiment (N=255,000) with a delivery service, where customers are offered carbon offsets that compensate for emissions. To estimate...

In this paper, we investigate the effect of respondents' attitudes concerning distributive justice in payments on their stated preferences for programs decreasing ambient air pollution in four cities in Poland. We propose a novel approach to considering justice attitudes in non-market valuation...

Energy transition requires significant increases in investment in renewable energy. To support this process, reliable and accurate data on feasibility of available technologies and consumer demand are required. This paper uses a choice experiment to assesses consumer support for energy...

SARS-CoV-2 vaccines give rise to positive externalities on population health, society and the economy in addition to protecting the health of vaccinated individuals. Hence, the social value of such a vaccine exceeds its market value. This paper estimates the willingness to pay (WTP) for a...

How much is a resident willing to pay to avoid falling victim to a crime.in the neighborhood? Home prices and the number of sales change following a crime. Notably, price changes do not fully reflect the willingness to pay to avoid crime because of market illiquidity. We introduce a model in...

Citizen support is an important precursor to climate change mitigation polices. Public opinion can shape public policy and vice versa. Despite an extensive literature, there is still disagreement on how country-level contextual factors shape overall support for environmental policy. This paper...
