On the relative effectiveness of neoclassical and behavioral interventions in fostering environmental conservation Tilburg University, Netherlands, The We experimentally test the relative e ectiveness of standard neoclas- sical as well as behavioral policies aimed at fostering a societally relevant habit { in-house waste sorting. Our experimental population consisted of almost 1100 households living in apartment buildings in the city center of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Our interventions were aimed at increasing residents' intrinsic or extrinsic motivation to sort waste. We nd that the intervention that draws on extrinsic motivations has an immediate and sizable e ect on waste sorting behavior, but we also nd that the average treatment e ect attenuates steeply over time. In contrast, we nd equally sizeable yet long-lasting e ects of for the treatment designed to increase households' intrinsic motivation to sort waste. Our results highlight the role intrinsic motivations play in guiding recurrent prosocial behaviors. | |
