“…This cost specification is congruent with the literature; see, inter alia , van der Made and Schoonbeek (2009) and Sartzetakis et al (2012). Alternatively, we can think of the environmental campaign as a sort of social innovation since it creates an extra-value for the green good by making consumers aware of the relative environmental impact of the goods.…”

“…In their model, the campaign takes the form of costly informative advertising and it helps to reduce the asymmetry of information between consumers and manufacturers. Van der Made and Schoonbeek (2009) consider a campaign that increases consumers’ environmental concern through persuasive advertising. Kaufman (2014) develops a dynamic model of observational learning and costly search to investigate whether financial incentives or informational campaigns are more effective at encouraging green purchasing.…”

ABSTRACT. In this paper we compare two policy instruments that can be adopted to curb carbon emissions. The first is a conventional pollution tax, the second is an environmental campaign raising consumers' awareness about the relative impact of their consumption choices. The comparison is carried out in two different scenarios, depending on whether consumers' aprioristic preferences are such that they value the environmental attribute of a product (environmental quality) or its pure performance (hedonic quality) . In the case of environmental quality, the campaign is preferred under some specific conditions based on consumer heterogeneity, cost-effective analysis, and pollution level. On the contrary, the pollution tax is always preferred in the case of hedonic quality. Therefore, we show that the relative efficiency of the two policy instruments crucially depends on consumers' initial concern for the environment, which may vary across countries due to socio-economic conditions.
