Both psychologists and economists have shown that under certain circumstances, economic incentives seem to undermine intrinsic or moral motivation. If such crowding-out effects are sufficiently strong, the effect of green taxes might even be counterproductive and increase, rather than decrease, environmental problems. How-ever, moral motivation can also be reinforced by economic incentives, a fact which has received surprisingly little attention in the literature. In particular, reciprocal preferences and conditional cooperation may cause green taxes to support, rather than under-mine, individuals' moral motivation to contribute to a better environment.ABSTRACT FROM AUTHORCopyright of Public Finance & Management is the property of Southern Public Administration Education Foundation and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
