In the scenario analyses, a flatter milk supply profile consistently proved to be more profitable for the milk processor compared to seasonal delivery. However, there is a possibility that a change in the milk supply profile could result in additional costs in milk production. Therefore, it was concluded that a reduction in the degree of seasonality is beneficial for the milk sector if the resulting financial added value in processing exceeds any additional costs in production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Award winner: <strong>DI<sup>in&nbsp;<\/sup> Birgit Gassler<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The submitted master\u2019s thesis is titled:<strong> &#8222;How Green Is Your &#8218;Gr\u00fcner&#8216;?

In Austria, however, little is known about the wine-buying behavior of young adults and their preferences for organic labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This study takes this as a starting point and, using discrete choice experiments, quantifies how price, origin, residual sugar content, bottle shape, discounts, awards, and production methods affect the likelihood of purchasing a bottle of Gr\u00fcner Veltliner. Particular attention was paid to the willingness of young adults to pay for organic, sustainably, and CO<sub>2<\/sub>neutrally produced wine. The econometric results were further used in a decision support system programmed in Excel to estimate potential market shares and price elasticities for organically certified wines.
