Research on how the public is willing to make sacrifices for the environment is increasingly prominent worldwide. For most cross-national studies, researchers used either one year’s worth of data or multiple years of data but focused exclusively on World Values Survey (WVS) or International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) data. The conclusions drawn from these studies are not generalizable because a similar pattern might not occur for other years. The different compositions of the two surveys is also an issue. To fill this gap, we conduct multilevel regression on seven waves of data (4 waves of WVS and 3 waves of ISSP). We complement the existing literature by identifying a number of country-level (economic affluence and economic globalization) and individual-level factors (postmaterialist values, political ideology, trust, income, and education) that have consistent effects on people’s willingness to pay higher taxes for the environment across years and surveys. We also identify the effect of interaction variables across levels. This study has policy implications because successful implementation of environmental regulations largely depends on public support. According to the findings we suggest policies that promote economic development and economic globalization; highlight environmentalism and disseminate postmaterialist values; foster trust and social integration; and endorse education to promote one’s willingness to make sacrifices for the environment.

接受更高的环境税:基于 ISSP 和 WVS 调查七年数据的跨国和多层次研究

关于公众如何愿意为环境做出牺牲的研究在世界范围内日益突出。对于大多数跨国研究,研究人员使用一年的数据或多年的数据,但只关注世界价值观调查 (WVS) 或国际社会调查计划 (ISSP) 数据。从这些研究中得出的结论不可推广,因为类似的模式可能不会在其他年份发生。这两项调查的不同构成也是一个问题。为了填补这一空白,我们对七波数据(4 波 WVS 和 3 波 ISSP)进行了多级回归。我们通过确定一些国家层面(经济富裕和经济全球化)和个人层面的因素(后物质主义价值观、政治意识形态、信任、收入、和教育),这对人们在不同年份和调查中支付更高环境税的意愿具有持续影响。我们还确定了跨级别交互变量的影响。这项研究具有政策意义,因为环境法规的成功实施在很大程度上取决于公众的支持。根据研究结果提出促进经济发展和经济全球化的政策;突出环保主义并传播后物质主义价值观;促进信任和社会融合;并支持教育以促进人们为环境做出牺牲的意愿。这项研究具有政策意义,因为环境法规的成功实施在很大程度上取决于公众的支持。根据研究结果提出促进经济发展和经济全球化的政策;突出环保主义并传播后物质主义价值观;促进信任和社会融合;并支持教育以促进人们为环境做出牺牲的意愿。这项研究具有政策意义,因为环境法规的成功实施在很大程度上取决于公众的支持。根据研究结果提出促进经济发展和经济全球化的政策;突出环保主义并传播后物质主义价值观;促进信任和社会融合;并支持教育以促进人们为环境做出牺牲的意愿。
