| Abstrakt: | As nuclear power projects remain controversial in many countries worldwide, it is crucial to understand the determinants of public acceptance of nuclear energy. This study attempts to explore the relationship between Internet use and an individual's willingness to accept (WTA) compensation for the construction of nuclear power plants. Based on data from the Chinese General Social Survey, instrumental variable estimates reveal a significant and negative correlation between Internet use and WTA. Further analyses show that Internet use improves individuals' knowledge of nuclear energy and reduces their safety-related risk perception, thus leading to a lower WTA. Meanwhile, Internet use increases individuals' environmental-related risk perception, which is negatively correlated with WTA. These findings provide several implications for policymakers designing nuclear policy in the digital age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
