摘要

除了传统的经济激励外，许多环境决策还基于内在动机。实地实验使研究人员能够分离出特定的因果机制，这有助于提高我们对环境市场中消费者和企业行为的理解。本文总结了在环境经济学中使用现场实验的文献，重点介绍了框架和人工现场实验以及针对城市能源和水需求的自然实验。我们建立了一个理论框架，以改进对环境经济学现场实验结果的解释。除了提供实验方法和发现的概述外，我们还为有兴趣在环境经济学中进行实地实验的研究人员提出了一系列挑战。

Behavioral Insights from Field Experiments in Environmental Economics

Many environmental decisions are based on intrinsic motivations in addition to traditional economic incentives. Field experiments allow researchers to isolate a specific causal mechanism which can help advance our understanding of consumer and firm behavior in environmental markets. This article summarizes the literature on the use of field experiments in environmental economics, focusing on framed and artefactual field experiments as well as natural experiments targeting municipal energy and water demand. We set out a theoretical framework to improve the interpretation of results from field experiments in environmental economics. In addition to providing an overview of experimental methods and findings we also lay out a set of challenges for researchers interested in running a field experiment in environmental economics.

期刊介绍： Environmental and resource economics has become a broad topic making connections with many other subdisciplines in economics as well as the natural and physical sciences. It has also experience a significant growth in research such that the literature is exploding in terms of the number of topics addressed, the number of methodological approaches being applied and the sheer number of articles being written. Coupled with the high degree of specialization that characterizes modern academic research, this proliferation of topics and methodologies makes it impossible for anyone, even those who specialize in the subject, to keep up with developments in the field.
