Money does it better! : economic incentives, nudging interventions and reusable shopping bags : evidence from a natural field experiment
Antinyan, Armenak; Corazzini, Luca - 2021
provision of reusable bags. We manipulate the type of the intervention, i.e., either a financial bonus or a nudge, and the … the bonus and the nudge considerably reduce the demand for single-use plastic bags. Free reusable bags are effective when … combined with the bonus, albeit not effective when combined with the nudge. Finally, the bonus is more powerful than the nudge …

When nudges aren't enough : incentives and habit fomation in public transport usage
Gravert, Christina; Olsson Collentine, Linus - 2020
In three large-scale field experiments with over 32,500 individuals, we investigate whether public transport uptake can be influenced by behavioral interventions and by economic incentives. Despite their effectiveness in other domains, we find a tightly estimated zero for social norms and...

Nudging À La Carte – A Field Experiment on Food Choice
Gravert, Christina; Kurz, Verena - 2017
We test the effect of framing of a menu on the choice of ordering climate friendly dishes in a randomized controlled experiment. Rearranging the menu in favor of vegetarian food has a large and significant effect on the willingness to order a vegetarian dish instead of meat. We show that there...

Toward an Understanding of the Economics of Prosumers : Evidence from a Natural Field Experiment
List, John A.; Pragidis, Ioannis C.; Price, Michael - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
Prosumers are becoming increasingly important in global energy consumption and production. We partner with an energy service provider in Sweden to explore the economics facing such agents by conducting a natural field experiment over a 32-month period. As a policy instrument, we explore how...

Nature experiences and pro-environmental behavior : evidence from a randomized controlled trial
Flecke, Sarah Lynn; Schwaiger, Rene; Huber, Jürgen; … - 2023
We conducted a randomized controlled trial in a lab and natural setting to investigate whether exposure to nature leads people to behave more pro-environmentally. We further investigated whether attention restoration mediates this effect. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four...

Fungibility, Labels, and Consumption
Abeler, Johannes; Marklein, Felix - 2021
Fungibility of money is a central principle in economics. It implies that any unit of money is substitutable for another and that the composition of income is irrelevant for consumption. We find in a field experiment that even in a simple, incentivized setup many subjects do not treat money as...
