Whatever the customer wants, the customer gets? Exploring the gap between consumer preferences and default electricity products in Germany (2013, background): “Additionally, they can have an important indirect influence on the product range offered (Rubik et al., 2007; Heinzle and Wüstenhagen, 2012).”
Green nudges: Do they work? Are they ethical? (2016, background): “See Heinzle and Wüstenhagen (2012) for similar evidence from Germany.”
Informing Versus Nudging in Environmental Policy (2014, background): “In addition, there is research documenting that the design of an eco-label has an impact on how consumers perceive the information it aims to convey and consequently on their behaviour (Heinzle and Wüstenhagen 2012; Teisl et al. 2008).”
A better carbon footprint label (2016, methodology): “This dynamics has been observed with the EU Energy label, where the ranking scale has had to be revised (which was unfortunately done by adding +’s to the A-label, cf. Heinzle and Wüstenhagen, 2012; Ölander and Thøgersen, 2014), as too many products were ranked in the best category.”
