Consumers' Willingness to Pay for Solar Fuel Adoption in Quebec, Canada: Evidence From a Discrete Choice Experiment

open access: yesThe American Journal of Economics and Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates consumer preferences for renewable fuels in Quebec, with a particular focus on a solar fuel produced through artificial photosynthesis. Using a discrete choice experiment (DCE) and both conditional logit (CL) and random parameters logit (RPL) models, we estimate marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for key fuel attributes,
