| Abstract: | The rationale of ecolabelling is to enable firms to repeat the willingness-to-pay for the environmental attributes to goods by helping consumers to identify "green" products. This analysis outlines situations under which ecolabelling could induce perverse effects, namely increased investment in conventional technologies before the labels are awarded, and examines whether restricting is isue of labels could constitute an antidote. |
