在应对气候变化方面，个人自愿气候行动（VCA）的决定因素及其潜在规模经常在公众中引起争论，但在很大程度上缺乏研究。我们利用欧盟排放交易计划（European Union emissions Trading Scheme），对每个国家减少一吨欧盟温室气体排放的意愿进行了估计。这些估计是通过一个在线现场实验得出的，该实验使用了大量的、高度异质的、具有互联网代表性的德国投票年龄样本。通过对支付意愿（WTP）、对VCA的非漠不关心和先验知识的综合估计，我们发现了VCA偏好的重要决定因素，如教育、人口中的信息结构和外生环境条件。
The determinants of individual, voluntary climate action (VCA) in combating climate change and its potential scale are frequently debated in public but largely underresearched. We provide estimates of the willingness to individually reduce EU greenhouse gas emissions by one ton, using the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme. Estimates are derived from an online field experiment with a large, highly heterogenous, and Internet-representative sample of voting-aged Germans. Jointly estimating willingness to pay (WTP), non-indifference to VCA, and prior knowledge, we uncover important determinants of preferences for VCA, such as education, the information structure among the population, and exogenous environmental conditions.
