> "Economic Inequality and the Value of Nature"
> Abstract
> Understanding what influences the value of nature is crucial for informing environmental policy. From a sustainability perspective, economic valuation should not only seek to determine a society's willingness to pay for environmental goods to devise an efficient allocation of scarce resources, but should also account for distributional effects to ensure justice. Yet, how economic inequality affects the value of non-market environmental goods remains understudied. Combining recently developed theoretical results with empirical evidence, this Presentation argues that more equal societies have a higher valuation for environmental public goods and that non-market benefits of environmental policy accrue over-proportionally to poorer households. On this ground, the Presentation discusses implications for environmental valuation, management and policy-making. It concludes that environmental valuation should explicitly account for economic inequality, and that encompassing assessments of the distributional effects of environmental policies must consider the distribution of non-market environmental benefits.

> "Choice of ecolabeled seafood in Germany: Driven by environmental concerns or warm glow?"
> Abstract
> Ecolabels have become increasingly important in the (sea-) food market. While ecolabels are supposed to reduce the information asymmetry between producers and consumers regarding particular product attributes, the literature suggests that ecolabels may also produce a warm glow of “green” behavior. In this study the relative importance of these two motivations for choosing an ecolabeled seafood product is investigated by means of three discrete choice experiments. Results show that the positive effect of the ecolabel on the choice probability decreases if additional information about the sustainability of the product makes the information function of the ecolabel redundant. The warm glow effect is tested for by introducing products that are ecolabeled but stem from unsustainable fisheries. This reduces the remaining effect of the ecolabel on choice probability again. It can be found that 62% of the ecolabel’s original effect on choice probability can be attributed to consumer demand for sustainable products, while warm glow accounts for 24% of the effect.
