Knowledge, risk, and policy support: Public perceptions of nuclear power
TL;DR: The authors examines U.S. public support for nuclear energy one year after the Fukushima tragedy, seeking to understand the influence of knowledge and risk perceptions on policy support, using risk and attitudinal measurements that are more specific than often found in the literature to obtain a greater understanding of the connection between policy and risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of perceived and assessed knowledge of climate change on public policy concerns: An empirical comparison
TL;DR: This article examined individual risk perceptions of climate change to determine the extent to which measurement errors of knowledge may have affected previous studies of KDM. But these examinations may have incorrectly measured knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encouraging Pollution‐Free Energy: The Diffusion of State Net Metering Policies*
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine three competing diffusion explanations on the likelihood of a state adopting net metering and find that regional policy diffusion influences the likelihood for a state to adopt a net-metering policy, suggesting that states are learning from one another and that the EPA's regional offices help facilitate this diffusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reassessing the Impact of Supreme Court Decisions on Public Opinion: Gay Civil Rights Cases:
TL;DR: The authors argue that the ability of Court decisions to influence public opinion is a function of the salience of the issue, the political context, and case specific factors at the aggregate level.
Journal ArticleDOI
