Incentives, Pro-Environmental Behavior and Intrinsic Motivation: Field Evidence From Waste Sorting and Cheating 1: Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain; 2: Universidad Pública de Navarra, Spain We run a randomized field experiment to evaluate the impact of small incentives on waste sorting. For implementing incentives, we exploit a card-scanning technology that tracks bio-waste sorting in real-time. We provide a theoretical model to interpret the finding of our experiment in a context of a prosocial activity where cheating can arise. The model shows that the removal of incentives, provides an excellent opportunity for quantifying the price effect, identifying cheating and exploring changes in intrinsic motivation. Our results show that incentives increase recycling. However, the effect declines over time while incentives are in place and no difference in the trend is observed when removing the incentive. These findings are compatible with crowding-in of intrinsic motivation and incompatible with cheating. | |
