Consumer choices for nano-food and nano-packaging in France and Germany
通过实验研究法国和德国消费者对纳米强化食品和纳米包装的支付意愿，发现两国消费者普遍抵触，且信息类型对接受度有不同影响。
An experiment with different information treatments was conducted in France and Germany to evaluate consumers willingness to pay (WTP) for food nanotechnology focusing on two applications: nano-fortification with vitamins and nano-packaging. Results show that many consumers in both countries are reluctant to accept nanotechnology in food. Being confronted with general information on nanotechnology, econometric estimations of WTP reveal that French consumers are more reluctant to accept nano-packaging, whereas German consumers are less inclined to accept nano-fortification compared with the respective other application. More detailed information on nanotechnology has a negative impact when voluntary access to relevant information is assured.
