Communicating car costs: Results from stated and revealed preference experiments
While many studies find that consumers consistently undervalue fuel costs when making a new car purchase, whether this information failure can be corrected through an intervention remains unclear. This paper combines the results of two nationwide experiments conducted in the Republic of Ireland − an online discrete choice experiment and a showroom randomized controlled trial which test the provision of energy cost and CO2 information on car choices. Findings from the online experiment suggest that providing monetary energy cost information, particularly when it is framed over longer time horizons increases the probabilty of selecting a battery electric vehicle (BEV). Field trial findings however do not show an effect of information provision at the point of vehicle sale. This highlights the difficutly in influencing real-world purchases, and the importance of source and timing in information provision.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
