  •  
  • behavioural and experimental research on consumer behaviour

  • analyses of consumption and demand for commodities with significant environmental impacts (energy, transport, food, drinking water, packaging and waste)
  • preferences for alternative and low-emission technologies (electric car, insulation), energy-saving behaviour in households, transport behaviour, food consumption and sustainable/healthier diets
  • analysis of consumer preferences and choice factors, including analysis of willingness to pay for products not yet on the market (‘niche’ market)
