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 Impact of Trial Runs on the Acceptability of Pigouvian Taxes: Experimental Evidence
