TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate opportunities to integrate bounded rationality and other-regarding preferences into environmental policy theory to arrive at recommendations for more effective policies, and they pay special attention to the role of non-pecuniary, informative instruments and illustrate the implications for climate policy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that a global carbon price is the only way to effectively tackle free riding in international climate policy, required to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and identify key complementary policy instruments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a framed field experiment that explores reputation formation as a driver in support of household recycling practices and find that reputational concerns indeed play a role in shaping individual pro-environmental behavior.

TL;DR: In this paper, international harmonization of climate policy beyond the Paris Agreement is the only way forward, arguing that unilateral climate policies have been unable to achieve intended emissions reductions, and that international harmonisation of climate policies beyond the agreement is the best way forward.

TL;DR: This article examined the impact of bounded rationality and social preferences on bargaining in international climate negotiations and illustrate how particular deviations from full rationality affect the incentives to cooperate, and the consequences of the most prominent nonstandard preferences and biases for negotiating a climate treaty are assessed, and specific strategies to foster cooperation are suggested.
