Prof. Michael Hiscox Department of Government Harvard University Just Supply Chain Conference Stanford, May 16-17, 2008 Consumer Demand for Ethical Standards: Field Experiments with Ethical Product Labeling

Will consumers pay extra for standards? What do we know about consumer demand for standards?  Surveys: About 75% of consumers say that would pay more for products made with good labor standards  Sales: The US market for Fair Trade Certified goods has grown by almost 50% per year since 2001 Our field experiments to test consumer responses to ethical product labeling:  In-store experiments: label items/displays, alter prices  Using eBay: auction labeled/unlabeled items

Our eBay auctions  Coffee: created our own brand of fresh roasted beans; all Fair Trade certified  Polo Shirts: sourced shirts from Cutter & Buck’s SA8000 certified suppliers  Method: we sold labeled and unlabeled coffee and shirts in simultaneous auctions
