| Tiivistelmä: | In this paper the authors test whether the dolphin-safe labels altered consumer purchases of tuna. The authors also provide a partial measure of the total welfare effects of the dolphin-safe labeling policy. The results confirm the authors' hypothesis that the dolphin-tuna controversy and the subsequent implementation of dolphin-safe labeling affected consumer behavior. Further, the paper provides market-based evidence that consumers can respond to eco-labels; the dolphin-safe label increased the market share of canned tuna. The welfare analysis provides a partial measure of society's willingness to pay to avoid personally contributing to dolphin mortality as a result of tuna fishing. |
