Trust in Consumer Markets
Economic transactions involve concerns about seller honesty and product quality, requiring a baseline level of trust from consumers. While economic sociology has extensively studied how networks and market intermediaries foster trust, the role of social macrostructures has been examined less. This paper makes the case that consumer trust is embedded within institutions, operationalized as consumer policy, and culture, represented as market norms.…

Kreislaufwirtschaft zwischen bottom-up und top-down Initiativen
Dieser Beitrag verdeutlicht, dass eine umfassende Analyse des Phänomens der Reparatur sowohl „bottom-up“- als auch „top-down“-Initiativen berücksichtigen muss. Er zeigt, dass Reparaturpraktiken von Graswurzelinitiativen, Einzelpersonen und in hybriden Geschäftsmodellen organisiert werden, die RepairCafés, Plattformen im Internet oder Werkzeuge anbieten, um so vor allem Endnutzende zu erreichen. Daran anschließend werden top-down Ansätze auf europ…
The social ambiguity of money
In regard to the purpose of money use, economic theory provides a functionalist answer, while a dominant sociological view focuses on culture. However, Simmel noted the paradoxical nature of money in this respect. Money brings together both quantity and quality; therefore, it simultaneously has different potentialities for its usage. We conducted an exploratory factor analysis by using a representative sample (n = 2000) of the population in Austr…

In contrast, this article shows, from a comparative perspective, how political structures influence consumer trust. First, using aggregate data, it shows how consumer trust in markets varies acros…

Money Knowledge or Money Myths? Results of a population survey on money and the monetary order
People use money in everyday life in ubiquitous ways. In addition, they know that money has quite different and multiple meanings in different social contexts, depending on the situation in which it is used. That said, what do people actually know about money, money creation, money backing and the institutional foundations of the monetary order? While contributions in the rapidly extending field of financial literacy have empirically studied peop…
Consumer Policy in 28 EU Member States
This article examines consumer policy in 28 EU Member States.

Drawing on the most recent data, the empirical results provide a detailed picture of consumer policy across Europe displayed in several indices. The results furthermore allow for statistically testing consumer policy regimes, as sug…

Die deutschen Verbraucherorganisationen und die staatliche Verbraucherpolitik werden als ein zentraler Bestandteil der institutionellen und organisationalen Einbettung des nachhaltigen Konsums kenntlich gemacht. Der Aufsatz arbeitet systematisch die Strategien dieser verbraucherpolitischen Akteure heraus,…
