• What's driving energy efficient appliance label awareness and purchase propensity? (2010, background): “Further research is needed to identify the currently unobserved factors underlying these common purchase propensities, with particular attention paid to environmental attitudes, psychological factors and social norms (Kahn, 2007; Gilg and Barr, 2006; Barr et al., 2005).”
• Consumer support for environmental policies: An application to purchases of green cars (2009, background): “According to Kahn (2007) for buyers of hybrid cars symbolic values dominate over purely monetary cost-savings due to reduced fuel bills, and symbolic values are highest for the Prius model.”
• What does an electric vehicle replace? (2019, unknown): “Kahn (2007), Kahn and Vaughn (2009), and Sexton and Sexton (2014) examine the role of consumer environmental awareness and signaling in the market for conventional hybrid vehicles.”
• Developing an extended Theory of Planned Behavior model to predict consumers’ intention to visit green hotels (2014, unknown): “Many consumers are aware that their buying behavior ay do harm to the environment and start to search and purhase eco-friendly products, sometimes even paying more for such roducts (Kahn, 2007; Laroche et al., 2001; Lee et al., 2010).”
• Green Drivers or Free Riders? An Analysis of Tax Rebates for Hybrid Vehicles (2010, unknown): “Other papers studying HEV’s include [2,9].”
• Pleasure or profit? Surveying the purchasing intentions of potential electric vehicle adopters in China (2019, background): “…that that EV adoption affirms lifestyle identities related to sustainability or innovativeness, such as being “green” or labelled an “early adopter” (Kahn 2007; GrahamRowe et al. 2012; Schuitema et al. 2013; Sovacool and Blyth 2015), or even notions of security and “cocooning” found in larger…”
• Determinants of households’ investment in energy efficiency and renewables: evidence from the OECD survey on household environmental behaviour and attitudes (2015, background): “Work by Olli et al (2001) and Kahn (2007), as well, finds social context to be an important predictor of environmental behaviour.”
• Adoption of alternative fuel vehicles: Influence from neighbors, family and coworkers (2017, unknown): “For example, previous research has discussed that one factor behind the relative success of the Toyota Prius (gasoline/electricity hybrid) was its design, making it more visible in the community (Kahn, 2007; Ozaki and Sevastyanova, 2011).”
• Part II: Policy instruments for sustainable road transport (2010, background): “In California, for example, Kahn (2007) finds the “Prius” effect: the Toyota Prius is preferred by consumers relative to other similarly green vehicles, probably due to extensive marketing and celebrity endorsements.”
