We use behavioral and experimental economics to study a particular aspect of the economics of
climate change: the potential tradeoff between countries’ investments in mitigation versus adaptation.

Does experience eliminate the effect of a default option? - A field experiment on CO2-offsetting for air transport
(2009-10-23)
Earlier research has shown that using a default option has a decisive effect on individuals’ choices. In many cases, however, the low proportion of subjects who switch from the pre-set default option might partly explained ...
Is Fairness Blind? - The effect of framing on preferences for effort-sharing rules
(2010-03-29)
By using a choice experiment, this paper focuses on citizens’ preferences for effort-sharing
rules of how carbon abatement should be shared among countries. We find that Swedes do not
rank the rule favoring their own ...

The intertemporal utility ...

This paper introduces quality of government rather than regime type as dependent variable in

(2017-01)
We conduct an artefactual field experiment in which 164 managers and senior advisors recruited from Swedish industry were presented with a task of maximizing net revenue from
abatement investments under three different ...
