Do individuals prefer stricter supply chain laws? Empirical evidence from Germany

University Kassel, Germany

Inspired by the controversial political debate in the European Union (EU) about legal initia-tives to protect human rights and the environment along supply chains (e.g., the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, CSDDD), this paper examines individual preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for different designs of supply chain laws that are stricter than current national legislation. Our econometric analysis is based on data from a stated choice experiment included in a representative online survey of 507 individuals from Germany. Our estimation results show that, on average, individuals in Germany prefer stricter supply chain laws than the existing national Supply Chain Act. The majority expects positive sustainability impacts of supply chain laws, while there is ambiguity of whether the economic impacts are predominantly positive or negative. Our results imply that citizens’ preferences are not fully reflected in the political debate. In particular, the strong opposition of conservative and liberal parties in Germany to a tightening supply chain legislation is only partially supported by our results. Our findings can therefore serve as a basis for developing legislation in a way that is consistent with citizens’ preferences.
