The Participation Dilemma: A Survey of the Empirical Literature on International Environmental Agreement Ratification (2022)
Journal Article
Bellelli, F. S., Aftab, A., & Scarpa, R. (2023). The Participation Dilemma: A Survey of the Empirical Literature on International Environmental Agreement Ratification. Review of Environmental Economics and Policy, 17(1), 3-21. https://doi.org/10.1086/722906

Several of the most pressing environmental problems involve transboundary issues and can be solved only through international cooperation. Hence, a successful policy response requires a good understanding of international environmental agreements—the...

Is local and organic produce less satiating? Some evidence from a field experiment (2022)
Journal Article
Franceschinis, C., Scarpa, R., Rossetto, L., & Thiene, M. (2022). Is local and organic produce less satiating? Some evidence from a field experiment. European Review of Agricultural Economics, 49(5), 1146-1178. https://doi.org/10.1093/erae/jbac014

We investigate consumers’ preferences towards local and organic food via a framed field experiment involving revealed multiple discrete–continuous choices. Participants were endowed with a cash amount as a budget to purchase any desired quantity of d... Read More about Is local and organic produce less satiating? Some evidence from a field experiment.

Would a simple attention-reminder in discrete choice experiments affect heuristics, preferences, and willingness to pay for livestock market facilities? (2022)
Journal Article
Kassie, G. T., Zeleke, F., Birhanu, M. Y., & Scarpa, R. (2022). Would a simple attention-reminder in discrete choice experiments affect heuristics, preferences, and willingness to pay for livestock market facilities?. PLoS ONE, 17(7), Article e0270917. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0270917

This study addresses the question whether an ‘attention reminder’ in discrete choice experiments (DCE) affects preferences, willingness to pay (WTP), and attribute non-attendance (ANA). We report on an experiment which elicited preferences for livest...

Response times and subjective complexity of food choices: A web-based experiment across 3 countries (2022)
Journal Article
Atzori, R., Pellegrini, A., Lombardi, G., & Scarpa, R. (2023). Response times and subjective complexity of food choices: A web-based experiment across 3 countries. Social Science Computer Review, 41(4), 1381–1404. https://doi.org/10.1177/08944393211073585

Accurate collection of response times is one of the main advantages of web-administered stated choice experiments and it can be thought of as a behavioral indicator of cognitive effort. We use data from a food choice experiment administered across th... Read More about Response times and subjective complexity of food choices: A web-based experiment across 3 countries.

Perceived access to PrEP as a critical step in engagement: A qualitative analysis and discrete choice experiment among young men who have sex with men (2022)
Journal Article
Asiago-Reddy, E., McPeak, J., Scarpa, R., Braksmajer, A., Ruszkowski, N., McMahon, J., & London, A. (2022). Perceived access to PrEP as a critical step in engagement: A qualitative analysis and discrete choice experiment among young men who have sex with men. PLoS ONE, 17(1), Article e0258530. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0258530

Young Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) continue to face disproportionate HIV risk. Despite its well accepted role in HIV prevention, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake remains below desired goals. Systemic barriers to PrEP access, including insura...
