本研究探讨了人们抵消与飞行相关的碳排放的意愿是集体参与率的函数，这可以被视为一种社会规范，对碳抵消。此外，我们还揭示了人们对另外两种环境政策的偏好；行李限额和航空公司生态效率指数。设计了一个离散选择实验，并在一组航空旅客样本中进行了管理。结果表明，碳抵消产生效用，当集体参与率高时，人们获得更多的效用。此外，研究发现，行李限额和生态效率指数对受访者的航空公司选择有很大影响。当集体抵消率高时，人们对行李限额和生态效率标签也变得更加敏感。(C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
This study investigates the idea that people's willingness to offset flight-related carbon emissions is a function of the collective participation rate, which can be regarded as a social norm, towards carbon offsetting. Additionally, we reveal people's preferences toward two other environmental policies; a baggage allowance and airline eco-efficiency index. A discrete choice experiment is designed and administrated among a sample of air travelers. The results indicate that carbon offsetting generates utility, with people gaining more utility when the collective participation rate is high. Additionally, it was found that the baggage allowance and the eco-efficiency index strongly influenced respondents' airline choices. People also became more sensitivity towards a baggage allowance and the eco-efficiency label, when the collective offsetting rate was high. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
