Abstract

Les auteurs analysent le rôle de la confiance dans l'évaluation d'une nouvelle technologie alimentaire, à savoir les nanotechnologies. Une revue de la littérature en sciences sociales et économiques révèle que de nombreux concepts de confiance sont disponibles. La littérature économique suggère que la confiance peut conduire à un moindre effort des personnes, quand il s'agit de leur propre protection. Il est possible de traduire ce concept de confiance dans le cadre de la disposition à payer pour des produits alimentaires. Ils montrent que la disposition à payer pour la nourriture utilisant des nanotechnologies augmente avec la confiance, y compris quand de nouvelles informations à propos de cette technologie sont révélées. Les résultats sont confirmés par des données de sondages en ligne réalisés au Canada et en Allemagne, et des données expérimentales provenant d'Allemagne.
