Abstract

We randomly assigned 1,883 nationally representative Americans (intending vehicle purchasers) to one of seven experimental conditions, each using a discrete choice model to determine consumer valuation of fuel economy. Consumers were willing to pay most when the information was presented using multiple metrics in the full fuel economy label.
