“…Theories of cognitive psychology and cognitive behavior systematically analyze individual cognition from different angles and agree that individual cognition of given issues plays a particularly important role on an individual’s behavioral intention and indirectly affects their behavioral decision-making. A number of researchers ( Carlsson, 2000 ; Hossain, 2003 ; Vassanadumrongdee and Matsuoka, 2005 ; Spash, 2006 ), respectively, analyzed individuals’ willingness to pay for services such as increased air quality, genetically modified food, and treatment air pollution. The results of these studies show that age, gender, education, occupation, income, and residence will affect consumers’ willingness to pay.…”

Study on Willingness to Pay and Impact Mechanism of Gutter Oil Treatment: Taking Urban Residents in Sichuan Province as an Example

“Gutter oil” is a term for the practice of recycling used waste oil from restaurant fryers, sinks, and even slaughterhouses and sewers, and has been a major food safety and sanitation issue in China for many years. However, with proper treatment, these issues can be mitigated, turning large amounts of waste product into valuable resources and conserving energy resources. Based on this questionnaire survey conducted in the cities of Chengdu and Mianyang in Sichuan, China, this paper uses the value evaluation method to measure urban residents’ willingness to pay for the treatment of gutter oil, and explores the factors and path influencing residents’ willingness to pay based on the extended theory of planned behavior. The results of this study affirms the validity and universality of the Theory of Planned Behavior. Behavioral attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms have a direct positive impact on their willingness to pay. Risk perception and past experience indirectly affect residents’ willingness to pay for gutter oil through the intermediary variable of behavioral attitude, which means that the public’s risk awareness can be improved by vigorously publicizing the harmful effects of gutter oil, thereby also increasing acceptance toward gutter oil treatment. As an intermediary variable, subjective norms have a significant indirect effect on the impact path of past experience on willingness to pay, which reflects the significant influence of subjective norms such as reference group and environment. The results show that urban residents have a higher willingness to pay for the treatment of gutter oil. The mean willingness to pay is 7.75 RMB per month per capita.

“…Because a firm that has cleaner technology than its competitors can benefit from the strict environmental regulation that increases its rival firms' costs, firms have the incentive to invest in cleaner technology. Carlsson (2000) considers a market where there are two firms that can invest to reduce their costs. He shows that the optimal tax level is not necessarily lower than the marginal environmental costs (Note 5).…”

Environmental Tax Burden in a Vertical Relationship with Pollution-Abatement R&D

In contrast to the polluter-pays principle, environmental taxes are imposed at various points in the chain of production and distribution (e.g., the fuel and regulatory energy taxes in the Netherlands). To discuss the effects of environmental tax burden ratio on economic outcomes, we consider a market where there is one upstream firm and two downstream firms that pollute the environment. The government imposes environmental tax on the upstream and downstream firms at some tax burden ratio. Given the tax burden, the downstream firms invest in pollution-abatement technology. After investment, the upstream firm chooses a wholesale price, and then the downstream firms compete a la Cournot. We obtain the following results: First, the total amount of environmental damage increases with the tax burden in the downstream market if the pollution-abatement technology is inefficient. Second, the profit of downstream firms increases with their tax burden if the tax burden is small. Finally, in the optimal tax burden scenario, both upstream and downstream firms may have to pay tax.

“…In a policy uncertainty environment, firms are unclear about what government policy will be implemented. Therefore, the uncertainties over the subsidies, caused by the political process or difficulties in firms being able to observe the correct policy, might result in a time lag between decision and implementation (Aizenman & Marion, 1993;Bagwell & Staiger, 1992;Bhattacharya et al, 2017;Carlsson, 2000;Wang et al, 2017). The influence of policy uncertainty negatively impacts firms' R&D investments (Aizenman & Marion, 1993;Bhattacharya et al, 2017;Gulen & Ion, 2015;Julio & Yook, 2012;Wang et al, 2017).…”

Moreover, the effect of uncertainty on R&D varies based on the strategic effects of R&D investments (Bloom, Schankerman, & Reenen, 2013;Carlsson, 2000;Huizinga, 1993;Ogawa & Suzuki, 2000). Therefore, this study aims to analyze how the effect of government R&D policy uncertainty on investments may differ based on the strategic effects of R&D investments.…”

The effects of uncertainties over R&D policy or market demand on R&D levels

This paper investigates how product market uncertainty and government research and development (R&D) subsidy uncertainty affect R&D levels in a duopoly with R&D rivalry and technological spillovers from an advanced large firm. Within this framework, one small firm and one large firm compete on R&D and output. We find that if firms' R&D efforts are strategic complements, then the firms' R&D outputs would decrease due to increased uncertainty over R&D policy but would increase due to increased uncertainty over market demand. Thus, we conclude that different types of uncertainties exert different impacts on R&D investment decisions.
