• Consumers and their behavior: state of the art in behavioral science supporting use phase modeling in LCA and ecodesign (2016, background): “…is also true for policies related to sustainable behavior (Bamberg et al. 2011; Ölander and Thøgersen 2014), which is reflected in a number of articles and survey papers (Gowdy 2008; Shogren and Taylor 2008; Peattie 2010; Carlsson and Johansson-Stenman 2012; Hammitt 2013; Croson and Treich 2014).”
• Nudges, Social Norms, and Permanence in Agri-environmental Schemes (2015, background): “Indeed a growing literature demonstrates that information about one’s own behaviour relative to that of others’ behaviour (an indicator of a ‘social norm’) can influence individual behaviours (Croson and Treich 2014).”
• Nudging sustainable consumption: The use of descriptive norms to promote a minority behavior in a realistic online shopping environment (2015, background): “However, assertions about social norms that rely on unverifiable assertions or factually incorrect information (e.g., Schultz, Khazian, & Zaleski, 2008) raise ethical concerns (e.g., Croson & Treich, 2014).”
• Nudging farmers to enrol land into agri-environmental schemes: the role of a collective bonus (2016, background): “This result can be used to ‘nudge’ behaviour by adapting policy design (Collier et al., 2010; Duflo et al., 2011; World Bank, 2015), supercharging the effects of economic incentives (Videras et al., 2012; Croson and Treich, 2014).”
• The role of information for energy efficiency in the residential sector (2015, unknown): “Although with smaller databases, Das et al. (2011) and Bloom et al.”
• How does environmental concern influence mode choice habits? A mediation analysis (2018, background): “A growing body of literature lies at the interface between environmental and behavioral economics (Croson and Treich, 2014) and is based on psychological concepts and theories that focus directly on environmental issues, including travel mode choice.”
• Green nudges: Do they work? Are they ethical? (2016, background): “Green nudges are increasingly part of the environmental policy debate in many countries.8 We survey the 6 See, e.g., Venkatachalam (2008), Brown and Hagen (2010), Croson and Treich (2014).”
