Envirodevonomics: A Research Agenda for an Emerging Field (2015, background): “25 A developed-country exception is Lofgren et al. (2012), who study the effect of defaults on the purchase of carbon offsets.”
Defaults and Donations: Evidence from a Field Experiment (2019, background): “Löfgren et al. (2012) and Ebeling (2013) study defaults for carbon offsetting and “green energy” on a conference registration page and an electricity provider’s website, respectively.”
Green nudges: Do they work? Are they ethical? (2016, background): “It should be noted, though, that the effect of default settings seems to attenuate with the nudgees' experience, as shown by a study testing the way environmental and resource economists reacted to default settings (concerning a CO2 offsetting program) at the 2008 annual EAERE conference in Gothenbu”
Behavioral Environmental Economics: Promises and Challenges (2014, background): “Defaults also don't work on everyone; Löfgren et al. (2012) shows that defaults for CO 2 offsets for air transport do not have effects on experienced consumers (i.e. environmental economists), and conclude that the effect of default options attenuate with experience.”
