TL;DR: In this paper, a new experimental model of spillover was proposed to concurrently investigate three predicted spillover mechanisms: self-identity, self-efficacy, and contribution ethic on different types of environmental behavior.
Abstract: Behavioral spillover theory has potential for promoting meaningful behavior change. Spillover occurs when engagement in environmental behaviors affects the adoption of other environmental behaviors. By testing a new experimental model of spillover, this article is the first to concurrently investigate three predicted mechanisms of spillover—self-identity, self-efficacy, and contribution ethic—on different types of environmental behavior. The experimental spillover model examined how triggering self-perceptions (i.e., self-identity, self-efficacy, and contribution ethic) may influence the likelihood of spillover to occur from engagement in household behaviors to intentions for other environmental behaviors. Triggering self-identity was associated with increased private- and public-sphere intentions. Contrary to expectations, contribution ethic was not associated with decreased intentions, and instead was associated with increased public-sphere intentions. Self-efficacy did not uniquely influence intentions. These findings demonstrate that everyday behaviors can provide an “entry point” for other behaviors, strengthening self-perceptions and generating positive spillover.

TL;DR: This paper examined the effect of unionization on manufacturing firm profits and found that quasi-rents from firm investments in intangible assets are a relatively greater source of union profit effects than product market concentration, suggesting spillover effects on nonunion employees.
Abstract: This study examines the effect of unionization on manufacturing firm profits, extending earlier research by combining industry-level and firm-level measures of unionization. Using several profit measures, we find that quasi-rents from firm investments in intangible assets are a relatively greater source of union profit effects than product market concentration and that union profit effects occur largely in the first 10 percent of firm coverage, suggesting spillover effects on nonunion employees.

TL;DR: While the authors found no moderating effects of gender, ROWE especially improved the exercise frequency of singles and reduced the smoking frequency of employees with low overall spillover at baseline.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors evaluated the employment effect of carbon emission trading policy from the perspective of micro enterprises under the premise of considering the spatial spillover effect, and they found that the CO2 trading policy in China has an about 10 percent positive sparsity effect on the neighboring provinces in pilot areas.

TL;DR: The authors investigated whether experimental treatments spill over and effect later experiments in an unintended manner using the 1991 Race and Politics survey, and found evidence of experimental spillover and that experiments at the beginning of a survey influence later experiments.
Abstract: Embedding experiments within surveys has reinvigorated survey research in general and especially in political science. These designs use random assignment to create true experiments within (typically nationally) representative sample surveys. Thus, they combine the internal validity of experiments with the external validity of national surveys. We investigate whether experimental treatments spill over and effect later experiments in an unintended manner. Using the 1991 Race and Politics survey, we find evidence of experimental spillover. Specifically we find that experiments at the beginning of a survey influence later experiments. We also find (much less) evidence of adjacent experiments affecting subsequent experiments. The paper concludes with a discussion of designs for future research that could aid our understanding of experimental spillover.
