Primary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
The main outcome of interest are the WTP answers under the different treatment conditions, as well as the survey answers on the subjective beliefs regarding premanence and co-benefits.
|
After
The main outcomes of interest are 1) the prior beliefs regarding permanence and co-benefits as well as 2) the WTP answers under the different treatment conditions.
Regarding the WTP answers, I will addtionally control for the following survey estimates:
- Impact of climate attitudes on WTP answers under different treatments.
- Impact of prior offsetting behavior, attitudes and knowledge of different offsetting options on WTP answers under different treatments.
- Impact of prior beliefs concerning effectiveness of offsetting options on WTP answers under different treatments.
- Impact of prior beliefs concerning permanence and co-benefits WTP answers under different treatments.
- Impact of socio-economics (age, gender, education, income) on WTP answers under different treatments.
- Impact of economic preferences (altruism, risk, time) on WTP answers under different treatments.
Further, I will check the impact of the treatment through three belief updating questions, regarding effectivess, permanence and co-benefits. Hypothising that compared to the control (T1):
- permanence beliefs are corrected (compared to the priors) under T2 and T3.
- effectiveness beliefs are corrected (compared to the priors) under and T3.
- co-benefits beliefs are corrected compared to the priors in all treatments.
