However, customers often hesitate to adopt resource-saving PEBs in public places like hotels due to a "dual positive externality/spillover" problem – extra positive economic spillovers and increased positive environmental spillovers, compared to conducting such behaviors in private households. This study explores habitual PEBs at home and two disti…

This paper advances understanding of the concept of place attachment by illustrating the relationships between its components. Analysis of intervi…
