Citations in the corpus

• The influence of eco‐labelling on consumer behaviour – results of a discrete choice analysis for washing machines (2006, background): “Activities of firms and/or institutions to provide consumers with information about product characteristics are termed ‘signalling’ in new institutional economics, while the activity of consumers to search and check out the product characteristics of a product is called ‘screening’ (Göbel, 2002).”
• The potential role of carbon labeling in a green economy (2012, background): “Ecolabels matter more for nondurable, frequently used, and highly visible consumer goods (Gallastegui 2002).”
• The impact of consumer confusion from eco-labels on negative WOM, distrust, and dissatisfaction (2017, background): “…number of eco-labels being introduced into the marketplace has contributed to consumer confusion (Jackson and Snowdon 1999; Br ecard et al. 2012; Gallastegui 2002; Leire and Thidell 2005) and that consumers may not understand the terms and information being presented in labels (Gallastegui…”
• Limits to labels: The role of eco-labels in the assessment of product sustainability and routes to sustainable consumption (2009, background): “While there is awareness and willingness to buy eco-labelled products, price is an issue, and consumers also prioritize quality, while their purchases are often also guided by habit (Gallastegui, 2002).”
• Eco-Premium or Eco-Penalty? Eco-Labels and Quality in the Organic Wine Market (2012, neutral): “Quality concerns may also exist because early generations of eco-labeled wines, like many other eco-labeled products, were often experimental products, made by marginal producers and hence of variable quality (Galarraga Gallastegui, 2002; Peattie & Crane, 2005).”
• Eco-Labeling Strategies and Price-Premium (2014, neutral): “Conversely, because some of the early generations of eco-labeled products were associated with lower quality products, some consumers might still associate eco-labels with lower quality products and be reluctant to purchase them (Galarraga Gallastegui, 2002; Peattie & Crane, 2005).”
