Economics, psychology, biomathematics, geography, marketing informatics, civil engineering, local government studies, and international communication are among the fields represented by contributors of 13 papers, revised from their presentation at an April 2003 workshop held outside Copenhagen. They explore methods and insights into the role of information and labeling in promoting environmentally friendly behavior, the effects of food product labels on diet and health, and the role of additional information supplied to participants in contingent valuation surveys. Their topics include a dual-process model for values and habits, public information provision as a tool of environmental policy, whether low-fat dairy products are being demanded for health or taste, and new approaches to valuing environmental benefits using contingent valuation.
