      abstract = {Using U.S. apparel catalogue data, we estimate hedonic  price functions to identify market valuation of  environmental attributes of apparel goods. We identify a  significant and robust premium for the organic fibers  embodied in the apparel goods. We find an additional  organic premium for baby items. However, we do not find  evidence of a premium for environment-friendly dyes. We  further investigate the pricing behavior of apparel  suppliers for potential departure from competitive pricing  of this environmental attribute and find no evidence  different premium across firms, suggesting price-taking  behavior in the environmental attribute space.},
