• Household perceptions of climate change and preferences for mitigation action: the case of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme in Australia (2011, methodology): “First, the studies conducted by Cameron (2005) and Viscusi and Zeckhauser (2006) involved convenience sample (a group of college students were recruited as sample) whereas the current study involved a public survey.”
• Effect of outdoor temperature, heat primes and anchoring on belief in global warming (2010, background): “More directly relevant to the present study, Viscusi and Zeckhauser (2006) showed that participants who read a paragraph intended to increase climate change accessibility e which contained general background information about greenhouse gasses, global warming and U.S. opposition to the Kyoto…”
• What explains public support for climate policies? A review of empirical and experimental studies (2016, unknown): “…which is undoubtedly a crucial factor in explaining public support (DeBono, Vincenti, & Calleja, 2012; McCright, 2008; O’Connor, Bord, & Fisher, 1999; Zahran, Brody, Grover, & Vedlitz, 2006) as well as WTP for policies (Brouwer et al., 2008; Hersch & Viscusi, 2006; Viscusi & Zeckhauser, 2006).”
• Environmental Policy Theory Given Bounded Rationality and Other-regarding Preferences (2011, background): “For example, Viscusi and Zeckhauser (2006) assess behavioral responses in the realm of risk connected to climate mitigation actions.”
• “A convenient truth”: air travel passengers’ willingness to pay to offset their CO2 emissions (2008, background): “Viscusi and Zeckhauser (2006) find that Harvard students are willing to pay an extra $0.50 per gallon of petrol (a 25% increase) for GHG emission reduction (263 euros per tCO 2 -eq).”
• Willingness-to-pay and policy-instrument choice for climate-change policy in the United States (2013, unknown): “…from ours because they considered a smaller geographic area, such as the Front Range in Colorado (Layton and Brown, 2000), student samples of convenience (Cameron, 2005; Viscusi and Zeckhauser, 2006), or a policy of different scope than was valued in our study (Viscusi and Zeckhauser, 2006).”
