Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent years, environmentally friendly products, such as products with environmental certification, have attracted increasing attention. Although the sales for environmentally friendly products in other developed countries have been growing, the sales in Japan remains very limited. In this study, I conducted the two experiments to identify the determinants of consumer behavior related environmentally friendly certified products in Japan. The results of the laboratory experiment suggested that the visual attention toward the certified products significantly increased the probability of purchase. In addition, the providing the information related the certification system also affected purchasing behavior. The importance of information provision was also observed by the social experiment using the vending machines.
