“…From these choices, the researcher can estimate the causal effect of a change in a policy's design on the probability of public support. This conjoint methodology is a robust and externally valid technique for measuring multi-dimensional preferences (Hainmueller, Hopkins, and Yamamoto 2014), and has been used to assess preferences over the design of climate policy (Bechtel and Scheve 2013;Bergquist, Mildenberger, and Stokes 2020), cross-border climate finance transfers (Gaikwad, Genovese, and Tingley 2022a;Gampfer, Bernauer, and Kachi 2014), and job for transitioning workers (Blankenship et al 2022).…”

What are fossil fuel communities’ preferences over the design of just transition as-sistance accompanying climate policy? This study conducted survey experiments at Appalachian county fairs to answer this question, overcoming barriers that have lim-ited previous attempts to measure preferences in these crucial regions. Comparing the responses to a new national survey, there is a divergence in preferences for policies en-couraging relocation, but there is convergence behind support for policies that reduce costs to fossil fuel workers. The study also finds that an intervention to provide in-formation about coal’s decline shifted preferences toward supporting the clean energy transition. Rather than public opinion being an immutable barrier to climate action, 66% of fossil fuel community residents would endorse climate policy if it were coupled with just transition assistance. Policy design and informational interventions could help to create climate coalitions, even in the places most affected by the clean energy transition.
