Nice to meat you: Peer effects in consumption choice 1: Wageningen University and Research; 2: Technical University Berlin; 3: Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK); 4: University of Glasgow We study how social interactions shape meal choices using detailed canteen transaction data comprising roughly two million purchases over one academic year. Leveraging purchase timestamps, we infer the social networks of university students and examine how exposure to vegetarian peers influences individual consumption patterns. We find that individuals that dining with a vegetarian peer on a given day reduces meat consumption by about 4 percentage points, corresponding to roughly 9 percent of baseline levels. Together, our findings highlight how social contexts can shape sustainable consumption behaviors. | |
