15 p, 2.3 MB Reversing impatience : framing mechanisms to increase the purchase of energy-saving appliances / Silvi, Mariateresa (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada) ; Padilla, Emilio (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada)
Most environmental decisions involve intertemporal trade-offs, in that they require foregoing immediate gratification for the sake of future environmental quality. One such example is investing in energy efficiency, which entails an initial upfront cost in exchange for a future stream of energy and economic savings. [...]

36 p, 524.0 KB Changing classes, changing preferences : how social class mobility affects economic preferences / Ares, Macarena (University of Zurich. Institute for Political Science)
While many studies have identified an association between social class andeconomic preferences, we know little about the implications of changes inclass location for these preferences. This article assesses how social class andintra-generational class mobility affect economic preferences drawing on lon-gitudinal data from the British Household Panel Survey. [...]

28 p, 179.3 KB Class and social policy in the knowledge economy / Häusermann, Silja (University of Zurich. Department of Political Science) ; Pinggera, Michael (University of Zurich. Department of Political Science) ; Ares, Macarena (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Ciència Política i de Dret Públic) ; Enggist, Matthias (University of Zurich. Department of Political Science)
Recent studies of welfare state attitudes in the knowledge economy find very high generalized support for generous welfare state policies, both among the working and the middle classes. Has class become irrelevant as a predictor of social policy preferences? Or do we simply mis-conceptualise today's class conflict over social policy? To what extent has it changed from a divide over the level of social policy generosity to a divide over the kind of social policy and - more specifically - over the relative importance that should be given to different social policies? Answering these questions is not only relevant to understand welfare politics in the twenty-first century, but electoral politics as well: only when we understand what working- and middle-class voters care about, can we evaluate the role distributive policies play in electoral processes.

42 p, 583.8 KB Economic valuation of preventing beach erosion : comparing existing and non-existing beach markets with stated and revealed preferences / Logara, Ivana (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; van den Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M. (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
Predicted climate change is likely to increase beach erosion in the future, inducing higher costs of beach maintenance. Hence, additional funds for their protection will be required. We examine the willingness to pay (WTP) of beach visitors for preventing beach erosion in the form of daily beach entrance fees in Crikvenica, Croatia, by applying the contingent valuation method. [...]

(Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
We analyze the effectiveness of environmental policy when consumers are subject to social influence. To this end, we build a model of consumption decisions driven by socially- embedded preferences formed under the influence of peers in a social network. [...]

14 p, 291.5 KB The Puzzle of social preferences / Brandts, Jordi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Fatas, Enrique (University of East Anglia)
We present a brief overview of the experimental economics literature on social preferences. In numerous experiments, economically incentivized subjects are willing to sacrifice part of their material earnings to compensate the kind behavior of others, or will be willing to reciprocate at a non-negligible cost, or even pay a positive price for punishing the behavior of selfish individuals. [...]
Presentamos un breve panorama de la literatura en economía experimental sobre preferencias sociales. En numerosos experimentos, participantes con incentivos económicos están dispuestos a sacrificar parte de sus ingresos materiales para compensar el comportamiento amable de otros o a pagar un precio positivo para castigar el comportamiento de individuos egoístas. [...]

We consider two aspects of the human enterprise that profoundly affect the global environment: population and consumption. We show that fertility and consumption behavior harbor a class of externalities that have not been much noted in the literature. [...]

Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Zografos, Christos (Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Departament de Ciències Polítiques i Socials)
Why do people who care about the environment adopt behaviours that are not consistent with their beliefs? Previous studies approach this as a case of cognitive dissonance, researchers looking into the strategies through which people reduce gaps between their attitudes and their behaviours. [...]

Agent-based models (ABMs) have recently seen much application to the field of climate mitigation policies. They offer a more realistic description of micro behaviour than traditional climate policy models by allowing for agent heterogeneity, bounded rationality and non-market interactions over social networks.

There is enough evidence to be confident that individuals are able and willing to provide a meaningful answer when asked to value on a finite scale their satisfaction with their own lives, a question that psychologists have long and often posed to respondents of large questionnaires. [...]
