Consumers' willingness to pay for natural food: Evidence from an artefactual field experiment
2018
Abstract Among foods with credence attributes, food with “natural” components have received in the last years particular attention by consumers. This study applies the BDM incentive compatible mechanism to explore young (18–35 years old) consumers’ interest and willingness to pay for chewing gums having the natural attribute. Our analysis shows that over 68% of consumers are interested in the natural attribute and are willing to pay a price premium. We also find that consumers’ higher age and interest in the environment have significant impacts on consumers’ preferences for the natural attribute.
Natural versus enriched food: Evidence from a laboratory experiment with chewing gum.
2019
Abstract The current study explored consumers' preferences for natural versus enriched foods and identified the underlying driving forces behind consumer interest towards both attributes. A laboratory experiment with 200 respondents was carried out, applying the incentive compatible Becker-DeGroot-Marschak mechanism to measure consumers' willingness to pay for natural and enriched attributes of chewing gum. Empirical findings reveal that the two attributes are evaluated similarly by consumers. Furthermore, structural equation modelling identified a strong interdependence between the natural and the enriched attributes, suggesting they are complementary rather than substitutes/alternatives i…
Mujeres para una "Nueva Europa" : las relaciones y visitas entre la Sección Femenina de Falange y las organizaciones femeninas nazis
2013
La tesis estudia las relaciones entre la Sección Femenina de Falange y las organizaciones femeninas nazis (juvenil y adulta: Bund Deutscher Mädel y NS-Frauenschaft) entre 1936 y 1945. En su proceso de conversión en una organización de masas del "Nuevo Estado" tras el estallido de la guerra civil española, la rama femenina del partido fascista español comenzó a buscar modelos que le sirvieran de referencia (tanto a nivel organizativo como de actividades) y los encontró en la Italia fascista y, sobre todo, en la Alemania nazi. Con ello se enmarcaban en las redes transnacionales tejidas por los diferentes partidos y movimientos fascistas del periodo de entreguerras, con Roma y Berlin como verd…
Interactions between silver nanoparticles and fluorescent phytochromes from Deinococcus radiodurans
2017
Poikkitieteelliset sovellukset ovat viime aikoina yleistyneet tieteellisessä tutkimuksessa. Tämä näkyy hyvin esimerkiksi elävän kudoksen kuvantamisen kehittymisessä, jota varten etsitään jatkuvasti parempia biologisia leimoja fysiikan ja kemian keinoin. Tässä tutkielmassa on kehitetty ensimmäinen lähi-infrapuna-alueen fluoresenssileima, joka hyödyntää hopeananopartikkeleja ja fytokromeja. Kompleksi on syntetisoitu itse ja sen rakenne on todennettu optisen spektroskopian, elektroforeesin ja elektronimikroskopian keinoin. Lupaavat fluoresenssiominaisuudet saatiin käyttämällä monomeerisen Deinococcus radiodurans -fytokromin kromoforia sitovaa domeenia (CBDmon). Hopeapartikkelien läsnäollessa C…
