The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Persistent Impacts of Norm-Based Messaging and Their Implications for Water Conservation (2014, background): “Subsequent analysis by Ferraro et al. (2011) and Ferraro and Miranda (2013) highlight substantial differences in the long-run impacts of treatment.”
Social Comparisons, Household Water Use, and Participation in Utility Conservation Programs: Evidence from Three Randomized Trials (2015, background): “Our estimates are higher, however, than the estimate of $0.37 per thousand gallons for the Cobb County program (Ferraro and Miranda 2013).”
Mainstreaming Impact Evaluation in Nature Conservation (2016, background): “Finally, impact evaluation in conservation should be sensitive to heterogeneous outcomes (Alix-Garcia et al. 2012; Pfaff & Robalino 2012; Ferraro & Miranda 2013).”
The short-run and long-run effects of behavioral interventions: Experimental evidence from energy conservation (2014, unknown): “…comparisons affect choices in a variety of domains, such as voting (Gerber and Rogers 2009), retirement savings (Beshears et al. 2012), water use (Ferraro and Miranda 2013; Ferraro and Price 2013) and charitable giving (Frey and Meier 2004; Shang and Croson 2009), as well as a broader literature…”
Green nudges: Do they work? Are they ethical? (2016, background): “Ferraro and Miranda (2013) conclude that norm-based messages should target those subgroups known to be most responsive, thereby making the program cost-effective (ibid.).”
