| Eco-labels have an import role in promoting green consumption. Most eco-labelled products are credence products. The valued process attributes they contain are not observable characteristics even after purchase or consumption and therefore the consumers rely heavily on eco-labels as a guarantee that these attributes are actually delivered when the product is purchased and consumed. However, the label will only have the desired effect if the consumers know the production standards underpinning it and have trust in the label. We test this hypothesis using organic food as our example. The empirical results obtained on the basis of our analysis of detailed survey data from Denmark show that the higher the level of knowledge of labelling attributes, the more... |

| Organic farming growth is to a considerable extent fostered by state intervention, in particular in Europe. As an example of successful state involvement in ‘green’ infant industries, it forms a new research field for policy analysts interested in studying the relationship between public policy and industrial development.

In that connection the Danish state granted financial support for initiatives related... |

| One of the central challenges for governments which want to develop new markets is to engage rele-vant market-actors within this process. Both the thesis and the following paper explore how govern-ments can deal with that challenge, by creating coordination between the relevant market actors and by that affect their engagement in developing the new market. The study focusses government sup-port for the development of organic consumption in Sweden and Denmark. It shows that in order to support the development of organic consumption the Danish government supported strong coordination between retailers and food companies – what paved the way for the creation of stable nation-wide distribution channels for organic food and for the active engagement of all... |
