| Research Abstract |
This study investigated how people's fairness perceptions affect the behaviors of firms and policy designs in the context of environmental business using a survey method. The results indicate that people's fairness perceptions toward firms' pricing behaviors are influenced by whether a subsidy is offered to consumers or firms. This in turn implies that fairness considerations are necessary in designing appropriate environmental policies, and offers a new insight into an economic analysis of subsidy.
