Environmentalism and pro-environmental behavior are widely thought to correlate with political attitudes. In particular, both empirical and anecdotal evidence suggests that left-leaning individuals have more favorable dispositions toward environmentalism and practices that are regarded as environmentally friendly. We test this hypothesis using election data from Hungary. The main novelty of our result is that we study revealed, not stated, preferences. We concentrate on one particular environmental practice: waste separation. Surprisingly, we find that districts with a higher left-wing vote share engage less in waste separation on average. This result, although surprising, is consistent with previous survey-based evidence. We provide suggestions on how to interpret and explain our findings.

右侧更环保吗?匈牙利政治偏好与环境行为之间的关系



环保主义和亲环境行为被广泛认为与政治态度有关。特别是,实证和轶事证据表明,左倾人士对环保主义和被认为对环境友好的做法有更有利的倾向。我们使用匈牙利的选举数据来检验这一假设。我们结果的主要新颖之处在于,我们研究的是揭示的偏好,而不是陈述的偏好。我们专注于一种特定的环境实践:废物分类。令人惊讶的是,我们发现左翼选票份额较高的地区平均参与垃圾分类的程度较低。这一结果虽然令人惊讶,但与之前基于调查的证据一致。我们提供了有关如何解释和解释我们的研究结果的建议。
