Climate change impacts on crop yield: Evidence from China
Wei, Taoyuan; Cherry, Todd; Glomsrød, Solveig; Zhang, Tianyi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)When estimating climate change impact on crop yield, a typical assumption is constant elasticity of yield with respect to a climate variable even though the elasticity may be inconstant. After estimating both constant and ... -
Climate cooperation in the shadow of solar geoengineering: an experimental investigation of the moral hazard conjecture
Cherry, Todd; Kroll, Stephan; McEvoy, David M.; Campoverde, David; Moreno-Cruz, Juan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)As international efforts to mitigate greenhouse gases continue to fall short of global targets, the scientific community increasingly debates the role of solar geoengineering in climate policy. Given the infancy of these ... -
Conditional cooperation and cultural worldviews
Cherry, Todd; McEvoy, David M.; Sælen, Håkon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We show that conditionally cooperative behavior depends on the cultural worldviews of players in a public goods game. While others have examined the interaction of culture and cooperative behavior by comparing results from ... -
Does solar geoengineering crowd-out climate change mitigation efforts? Evidence from a stated preference referendum on a carbon tax
Cherry, Todd; Kallbekken, Steffen; Kroll, Stephan; McEvoy, Dave (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Solar geoengineering is increasingly being considered a realistic approach to managing climate change. One crucial concern is whether geoengineering crowds out efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Adding to a ... -
Endogenous Minimum Participation in International Environmental Agreements: An Experimental Analysis
McEvoy, DM; Cherry, Todd; Stranlund, JK (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Almost all international environmental treaties require a minimum number of countries to ratify the treaty before it enters into force. Despite the wide-spread use of this mechanism, little is known about its effectiveness ... -
The impact of public health messaging and personal experience on the acceptance of mask wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic
Cherry, Todd; James, Alexander G.; Murphy, James (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Face coverings have been shown to slow the spread of COVID-19, yet their use is not universal and remains controversial in the United States. Designing effective nudges for widespread adoption is important when federal ... -
Institutional inequality and individual preferences for honesty and generosity
Birkelund, Johan; Cherry, Todd (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This paper reports on an experiment that investigates how inequality in advantage affects individual preferences for honesty and generosity. In a two-stage experiment, subjects first earn money according to self-reported ... -
Learning to accept welfare‑enhancing policies: an experimental investigation of congestion pricing
Janusch, Nicholas; Kroll, Stephan; Goemans, Christopher; Cherry, Todd; Kallbekken, Steffen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Welfare-enhancing policies such as congestion pricing are argued to improve efficiency in situations with externalities. Unfamiliarity and lack of any personal experience with such policies, however, can hinder their ... -
The acceptability of efficiency-enhancing environmental taxes, subsidies and regulation: An experimental investigation
Cherry, Todd; Kallbekken, Steffen; Kroll, Stephan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Public opposition to efficiency-enhancing policies is a significant barrier to addressing many environmental challenges. We use a market experiment to explore the acceptability of three types of instruments: Pigouvian taxes ... -
The development and deployment of low-carbon energy technologies: The role of economic interests and cultural worldviews on public support
Cherry, Todd; Garcia, Jorge H; Kallbekken, Steffen; Torvanger, Asbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Large-scale deployment of low-carbon energy technologies is crucial to mitigating climate change, and public support is an important barrier to policies and projects that facilitate deployment. This paper provides insights ... -
The Impact of Trial Runs on the Acceptability of Pigouvian Taxes: Experimental Evidence
Cherry, Todd; Kallbekken, Steffen; Kroll, Stephan (2011:01, Working paper, 2011)This paper examines the political difficulty of enacting welfare-enhancing Pigouvian taxes. Using referenda in a market experiment with externalities, we investigate the effect of trial periods on the acceptability of two ...
