The birth of a "green" generation? Generational dynamics of resource consumption patterns
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the heterogeneity of lifestyle and consumption patterns from a generational or cohort dynamics perspective. A model of cohort and gender-specific diffusion of technological artifacts was developed and applied to the case of car ownership in Germany. The cohort approach was found to be useful in providing insights on the dynamics of the diffusion of 'green' behaviors and consumption patterns.
