- “Preference Reversal of Environmental Friendly Product,” Presented at the HSBC Business School, Peking University, ShenZhen: China, October 30, 2013.
Do consumers like the environmental friendly products they buy?

This suggests that, in some cases, environmental friendliness could be merely a marketing gimmick.
