The effect of competition on pro-environmental behaviour: An experimental approach 1: Université de Lorraine, Université de Strasbourg, AgroParisTech, CNRS, INRAE , BETA, 54000, Nancy, France.; 2: Université de Strasbourg, Université de Lorraine, AgroParisTech, CNRS, INRAE , BETA, 67000, Strasbourg, France We conducted a contextualized laboratory experiment to determine whether competition between wood buyers affects pro-environmental behaviour, that is, the adoption of new sustainable biomass harvesting practices. We also tested the effect of a non-monetary incentive, that is signing a declaration that commits wood buyers who voluntarily sign it to act in a sustainable manner, on pro-environmental behaviour. Our results provide evidence that competition between wood buyers has an adverse effect on pro-environmental behaviour. Nevertheless, presenting a declaration to sign is effective in inducing wood buyers to act in a sustainable manner as it tends to correct unsustainable behaviour that emerges from competition. | |
