Social Comparisons, Household Water Use, and Participation in Utility Conservation Programs: Evidence from Three Randomized Trials (2015, background): “The social norm treatment mailings were sent only once (in May 2007), although the research team has tracked water use for control and treated households through summer 2013 (Bernedo et al. 2014).”
The dynamics of behavior change: Evidence from energy conservation (2016, background): “While more recently, this research has moved from the laboratory o field experiments in market settings (Levitt and List, 2009; List and Price, 2013), we still have limited understanding of he effectiveness of information framing on behavior over long time periods (Bernedo et al., 2014).”
