Paying for Mitigation: A Multiple Country Study
在中国、瑞典和美国开展条件价值评估调查，发现三国多数受访者相信全球变暖且人类负有责任，但美国持此观点者较少，且更多美国人认为无法阻止气候变化；瑞典支付意愿最高，中国最低。
A contingent valuation study conducted in China, Sweden, and the United States was used to investigate citizens’ willingness to pay (WTP) for reducing CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. We find that a majority of the respondents in <i>all three countries</i> believe that the mean global temperature has increased over the last 100 years and that humans are responsible for the increase. The share of Americans that believes these statements is smaller, and a relatively larger share of Americans also believes that nothing can be done to stop climate change. Sweden has the highest WTP, while China has the lowest. <i></i>
