项目摘要

This project will shed light on the microstructure of willingness-to-pay for climate protection. Given the very ambitious goals in climate policy and the large sums needed to achieve them, the willingness of citizens to bear costs of this scale is a key policy question. However, science is still far from being able to provide a reliable model to predict how people will respond to different policy instruments aimed at harnessing their willingness-to-pay for a public good such as climate change abatement. There is evidence that people have several distinct motives for contributing to climate protection, each giving rise to some positive willingness. However, very little is known about the process of intra-personal aggregation of these distinct WTPs and intra-personal trade-offs when policies target specific motivations. As a result, policies aimed at harnessing this WTP may significantly fall short of its potential.In this project, a set of large-scale natural field experiments will be carried out and the results combined with evidence from laboratory experiments in order to disentangle and quantify the strength of different motives for contributions to climate protection. Due to the innovative experimental design, field experiments can be run not only with very large but also representative samples for the German population at low cost. Moreover, retiring EU Emission Allowances will provide a novel way for facilitating both incentive-compatible and credible contributions in experiments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Guided by prior research, the project focuses on five sets of motives: altruism, a ‘warm glow of giving’, moral suasions, image motivation, and equity concerns.

该项目将揭示气候保护支付意愿的微观结构。鉴于气候政策的目标非常雄心勃勃，而且实现这些目标需要大量资金，公民是否愿意承担如此规模的成本是一个关键的政策问题。然而，科学仍然远远不能提供一个可靠的模型来预测人们将如何应对旨在利用他们的支付意愿为减缓气候变化等公共利益支付的不同政策工具。有证据表明，人们有几个不同的动机来促进气候保护，每一个都产生了一些积极的意愿。然而，很少有人知道的过程中，这些不同的WTP和个人内部的权衡，当政策针对特定的动机的个人聚集。在本项目中，将进行一系列大规模的自然实地实验，并将实验结果与实验室实验的证据相结合，以便理清和量化不同动机对气候保护的贡献。由于创新的实验设计，现场实验不仅可以运行非常大的，但也有代表性的德国人口在低成本的样品。此外，取消欧盟排放配额将为促进在减少温室气体排放的实验中做出激励相容和可信的贡献提供一种新的方式。在先前研究的指导下，该项目侧重于五组动机：利他主义，“给予的温暖光芒”，道德要求，形象动机和公平问题。
