What explains public support for climate policies? A review of empirical and experimental studies (2016, background): “…2006; McCright, 2008; McCright et al., 2013a, 2013b; Park & Vedlitz, 2013; Zhao, Leiserowitz, Maibach, & Roser-Renouf, 2011), although a few studies (with notably smaller samples) report insignificant effects for these variables (Attari et al., 2009; Shwom, Bidwell, Dan, & Dietz, 2010).”
The acceptability of efficiency-enhancing environmental taxes, subsidies and regulation: An experimental investigation (2012, background): “when the instrument is viewed as coercive (Attari et al., 2009; Baron and Jurney, 1993; Jakobsson et al., 2000; Steg et al., 2006).”
Green nudges: Do they work? Are they ethical? (2016, background): “…in general (Tannenbaum et al., 2014), which, in our present context, is reflected in the observation that sometimes, people generally in favor of a pro-environmental agenda are more supportive and responsive to green nudges than people not so predisposed (Attari et al., 2009; Costa and Kahn, 2013).”
