      abstract = {The frequent use of consumer boycotts by certain  environmental protection and civil society protagonists  makes one wonder about the true potential effectiveness of  this tool. By cross-checking the elements of behavioural  economic analysis and game theory, we propose to  differentiate between the main sources of ineffectiveness  of such actions and, in particular, the weakness of  coordination between participants, the potentially massive  presence of free-riders, the characteristics of markets and  alternative technologies, and so on. These studies will  help towards the identification of areas for reflection on  the relative effectiveness of the socially aware  consumption. We illustrate the subject with the example of  tropical timber logging.},
