This paper evaluates the predictive power of building energy performance certificates on ex-post home heat loss. Improving the insulative capacity of residential properties is a policy priority in many markets, with building energy performance certificates providing the indicative benchmark. We...

This paper investigates whether habitual energy saving behaviors of a household head impact actual energy consumption in his/her own dwelling. In doing so, this paper compares actual energy consumption across French households that, with exception of household heads' energy saving behaviors, are...

This paper explores the contribution of biological factors in explaining gender differences in educational performance, with a particular focus on the role of prenatal testosterone. We exploit the fact that prenatal testosterone is hypothesized to transfer in-utero from a male twin to his twin...
