Renewable electricity (RE) auctions have recently emerged as a dominant instrument in the global RE policy 'toolbox', whereas historically more widespread policy instruments, including feed-in-tariffs and tradable green certificates, have lost popularity. This article investigates the contribution of dynamics of policy demand and supply to this development and identifies the relative impact of the instrument's so-called constituency, a concept introduced by Voss and Simons (2014). As an element of policy supply, perceived policy attributes impacting the instrument's diffusibility receive particular attention. The study applies a process tracing approach, based on a set of high-level interviews. The instrument constituency was found to comprise a fairly small group of highly specialized policy experts: three intergovernmental organizations, a group of researchers and two industry service providers.

This paper uses the choice experiment method to analyse social preferences towards a set of agricultural policy instruments that are likely to play a key role in the post-2013 design of the EU Common Agricultural Policy. It contributes to the choice experiment literature by incorporating different attribute processing strategies into stated choice models. By comparing models that consider attribute non-attendance for individual choice tasks and for the whole sequence of choices, we demonstrate the impact of different ways of accounting for attribute nonattendance on model performance and preferences. In addition, we test whether 'non-attendance to alternatives', which describes the elimination of alternatives due to the presence of attribute levels deemed unacceptable to a respondent, is a relevant information processing strategy in a choice experiment context. The results clearly show that individuals allocate attention over a reduced array of information and jointly apply decision strategies that involve attribute nonattendance and non-attendance to alternatives. The joint consideration of these information processing strategies results in a significant improvement of model fit to data, and a better description of respondents' preferences.
