Abstract

We evaluate a political market mechanism for siting nuclear waste repositories to local communities. This mechanism consists of a local referendum and economic incentives offered to the local population. Using a randomized choice experiment, we find that the political market mechanism decreases the Not-In-My-Backyard opposition in the case of nuclear waste.
