摘要:In the contingent valuation (CV) literature, confusion exists about warm glow and embeddingeffects. I show that i) some writers follow Andreoni’s (1989) definition of warm glow, but othersthink that subjects answering CV questions load up, free of charge, on “good feelings” fromsupporting the environment; ii) Andreoni’s warm glow would lead to embedding effects only inextreme circumstances; iii) Andreoni’s warm glow should be counted in valuation studies; and iv)there is scant evidence for good feelings being the source of embedding effects. In fact, embeddingeffects may not be limited to CV studies.
