  text: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We have collected data from a world-wide
    survey among COP delegates to empirically investigate preferences for certain
    burden sharing rules among key groups in a setting that reflects the possibility
    of observing concessions from negotiating partners. In our survey, the participants
    had the opportunity to select and combine up to eight (pre-defined) burden sharing
    rules and to assign relative weights to the selected rules in their preferred
    bundle. We examine whether such a mechanism helps to overcome the currently strictly
    (self-interested) strategic claims on equity in the negotiation process. We observe
    that delegates from different groups of countries show a general willingness for
    concessions. However, the degree to which different burden sharing rules are taken
    into consideration partly differs between countries. As a key insight we report
    that the individual assessment of the polluter-pays rule based on current emissions
    does not only stress the persistence of the traditional Annex-B/Non-Annex-B division
    but also suggests tendencies for a more fragmented grouping with different positions
    between, for example, delegates from developing countries (i.e. G77 members) and
    emerging countries (i.e. BASIC). At the same time, we observe tendencies for a
    more harmonized view among key groups towards the ability-to-pay rule in a setting
    of weighted burden sharing rules.</jats:p>
