Eco-Premium or Eco-Penalty? Eco-Labels and Quality in the Organic Wine Market (2012, positive): “Ecolabels are a tool for conveying information (Anderson & Hansen, 2004) to reduce the information search cost related to this environmental or social impact (Teisl et al., 2002).”
Green consumers and public policy: On socially contingent moral motivation (2006, background): “…concern for the environment appears to have had powerful impacts on their actual behavior in several cases, such as markets for elephant ivory (Heltberg, 2001), dolphin-safe tuna (Teisl et al., 2002), organic produce (Moon et al., 2002), and socially responsible investments (Cullis et al., 1992).”
Improving Eco-labelling as an Environmental Policy Instrument: Knowledge, Trust and Organic Consumption (2014, background): “have a reasonably good knowledge of the standards underpinning eco-labels, enabling them to distinguish between the attributes of labelled and non-labelling products (Teisl et al., 2002; Thøgersen, 2000).”
Environmental regulation of households: An empirical review of economic and psychological factors (2008, background): “Teisl et al. (2002) find that most tuna fish sold in the US has a “dolphin safe” label.”

Got Organic Milk? Consumer Valuations of Milk Labels after the Implementation of the USDA Organic Seal (2007, background): “Evaluating ecolabels, Teisl, Roe, and Hicks (2002) report that dolphin-safe labels resulted in changes in aggregate tuna consumption, and Jin and Leslie (2003) conclude that consumer demand is sensitive to mandatory and voluntary display of hygiene quality grade cards in the Los Angeles restaurant…”
A mathematical model for green supply chain coordination with substitutable products (2017, background): “Some eco-labels are introduced to guide consumers toward green buying (Teisl et al., 2002; Du et al., 2016).”
