The effect of electricity taxation on the German manufacturing sector: A regression discontinuity approach
Flues, Florens; Lutz, Benjamin Johannes - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2015
Germany taxes electricity use since 1999. The government granted reduced rates to energy intensive firms in the industrial sector for addressing potentially adverse effects on firms' competitiveness. Firms that use more electricity than certain thresholds established by legislation, pay reduced...

What's Driving Sustainable Energy Consumption? A Survey of the Empirical Literature
Wüstenhagen, Rolf; Schleich, Joachim; Rennings, Klaus; … - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2009
The focus of the paper is on the individual decision of energy consumers, and it's relation to sustainable consumption. Consumer behavior is based on individual decisions, but it depends largely on supply-side measures and an appropriate infrastructure (e.g. the availability of energy-efficient...

Asymmetric Price Transmission in Supply Function Equilibrium, Carbon Prices and the German Electricity Spot Market
Wölfing, Nikolas - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2008
In January 2007, first evidence of an asymmetric pass-through of CO2 emission allowance prices was reported for the German electricity spot market. This paper explores the theoretical basis for such an asymmetry in the context of a supply function bidding duopoly. It interprets fluctuating...

What drives WTP for energy efficiency when moving? Evidence from a Germany-wide household survey
Kesternich, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2010
The political discussion on energy efficiency is focusing more and more on the building sector due to its susceptibility to potential market failures like the negative external pollution effects of CO2 emission. Using a discrete choice approach, this paper aims at deriving factors which increase...

The effect of regulatory scrutiny asymmetric cost pass-through in power wholesale and its end
Mokinski, Frieder; Wölfing, Nikolas - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013
We find an asymmetric pass-through of European Emission Allowance (EUA) prices to wholesale electricity prices in Germany and show that this asymmetry has disappeared in response to a report on investigations by the competition authority. The asymmetric pricing pattern, however, was not detected...
