We investigated public preferences for welfare measures designed to encourage car use reduction and promote more sustainable urban environments. Cross-sectional survey data were obtained from n = 773 car owners living in Belfast, United Kingdom. A discrete choice experiment was used to elicit the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for a congestion charge that would finance policies to reduce car usage. A contingent valuation question assessed the willingness-to-accept (WTA) a monetary incentive to reduce car usage. WTP values were computed using a mixed logit model, and an interval data model was used to assess the factors that were correlated with WTA. We also calculated the benefit to the economy of reduced car usage. WTP for different policy measures ranged from £2.12 to £11. The highest WTP value was observed for improvements to public transport frequency, coverage, and connectivity. The median WTA value to reduce car usage by one day per week was £3. As a result of reduced emissions and road casualties, it was estimated that this intervention would generate benefits worth £3.83 m, however this was greatly outweighed by the costs involved.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10640-025-01005-w.","PeriodicalId":48299,"journal":{"name":"Environmental & Resource Economics","volume":"88 8","pages":"2201-2233"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12263728/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144660747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper provides a scoping review of how Kahneman's theories have been applied by environmental economists to individual decision-making for climate change risks. We focus on deviations from rational behavior that impact climate adaptation decisions, such as loss aversion, the underweighting of low-probability events and the influence of heuristic-driven System 1 thinking over analytical System 2 reasoning. Our review outlines diversity in methodologies, including household surveys and economic experiments, used to analyze actions like investments in climate resilience and the purchase of disaster insurance. We synthesize these findings showing how Kahneman's legacy explains suboptimal preparedness behaviors and discuss policy strategies derived from these insights, such as risk communication, nudges, and financial incentives for disaster preparedness. We conclude by proposing an agenda for future research to more systematically assess Kahneman's ideas across various climate risk contexts and to deepen the application of Kahneman's theories in tackling broader, wicked environmental problems that require changing human behaviors.","PeriodicalId":48299,"journal":{"name":"Environmental & Resource Economics","volume":"88 10","pages":"2663-2688"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12507976/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145281424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the experiment, some participants had the opportunity to voluntarily commit to a low carbon footprint basket before their online grocery shopping; the commitment was forced upon other participants. We also study the impact of an online badge as a soft reward for the achievement of a low carbon footprint basket. Participants from the general population shopped over two weeks, with the experimental stimuli only in week 2; and received their shopping baskets and any unspent budget. Results indicate that requesting a commitment prior to entering the store leads to a reduction in carbon footprint of 9–12%. When the commitment is voluntary, reductions are driven by consumers who accept the commitment. Commitments also reduced the consumption of fats and, for forced commitments, that of salt by 18%. Badges did not significantly impact consumer behaviour. Commitment mechanisms, either forced or voluntary, appear effective in motivating an environmental goal and search for low-carbon options, particularly in those accepting the commitment.","PeriodicalId":48299,"journal":{"name":"Environmental & Resource Economics","volume":"11 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134954346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
