An opinion dynamics approach to model and analyze the behavior of consumers in an energy network
Motivated by theories and evidence from the social psychology literature, we propose a novel continuous-time mathematical model that captures the evolution of motivation and behavior of energy consumers in a social network.
A deep dive below the human surface: The effect of basic human values on coastal residents’ and tourists’ marine personal norm, mediated by marine value orientations

Forest or machine? Public perceptions and acceptability of negative emissions technologies and practices across six European countries
We conducted a large scale survey on NETPs in six EU countries (N = 5,310) to examine: (1) public preferences for NETPs, next to other mitigation options; (2) how people evaluate the environmental and intergenerational consequences and acceptability of nature-based (i.e., afforestation and reforestation; AR) and technology-based NETPs (i.e., direct air capture with carbon storage; DACCS); (3) the relationship between the evaluation of consequences and acceptability judgements of AR and DACCS; and (4) public preferences for AR and DACCS in general versus in their own country.
