With the development of the social economy and the improvement of personal income, the government must consider formulating personal carbon reduction policies to reduce carbon emissions from the consumption side. Therefore, it is valuable to understand the public's preferences for different policies and the factors influencing the willingness of policy support, which can help policy selection and promotion. Using data collected from 2801 college students and a multinomial logit model, this study explores the influence of personal and social factors on preferences for three different personal carbon reduction policies (personal carbon trading, carbon tax, and carbon generalized system of preferences). The results show that individuals with higher levels of affluence, social trust, and social norms prefer personal carbon trading; individuals with higher levels of affluence, self-motivation, and social norms prefer carbon tax; individuals with higher levels of low-carbon behavioral attitudes and social trust prefer carbon generalized system of preferences; and low-carbon responsibility, access to low-carbon information, and social equity are beneficial to all three policies. In addition, this study examined the heterogeneity of individuals with different levels of affluence and low-carbon behavioral attitudes. This study compares the differences in influencing factors of policy preferences, clarifies the effects of various personal and social factors, which can help the government to design consumption-side personal carbon reduction policies in the future, and provide a reference for the promotion of corresponding policies.
随着社会经济的发展和个人收入的提高，政府必须考虑制定个人碳减排政策，以减少消费端的碳排放。因此，了解公众对不同政策的偏好以及影响政策支持意愿的因素是很有价值的，这有助于政策的选择和推广。本研究使用从 2801 名大学生收集的数据和多项逻辑回归模型，探讨了个人和社会因素对三种不同个人碳减排政策（个人碳交易、碳税和碳普惠制）的偏好的影响。结果表明，富裕程度、社会信任和社会规范水平较高的个人更喜欢个人碳交易；富裕程度、自我激励和社会规范水平较高的个人更喜欢碳税；低碳行为态度和社会信任水平较高的个人更喜欢碳普惠制；低碳责任、获取低碳信息和社会公平有利于所有三种政策。此外，本研究还考察了不同富裕程度和低碳行为态度的个体的异质性。本研究比较了政策偏好影响因素的差异，明确了各种个人和社会因素的影响，这有助于政府未来设计消费端个人碳减排政策，并为相应政策的推广提供参考。
