Solar rebound : the unintended consequences of subsidies
Boccard, Nicolas; Gautier, Axel - 2019
Many jurisdictions use net metering to record the power exchange between solar photovoltaic panels and the grid, thus valuing home production at the electricity retail rate. However, if over the billing period, production exceeds consumption, the surplus remains freely available for consumption....

What are the priorities of bureaucrats? : evidence from conjoint experiments with procurement officials
Tukiainen, Janne; Blesse, Sebastian; Bohne, Albrecht; … - 2023 - This version: December 6, 2022
While effective bureaucracy is crucial for state capacity, its decision-making remains a black box. We elicit preferences of 900+ real-world public procurement officials in Finland and Germany. This is an important pursuit as they report having sizeable discretion and minimal extrinsic...

Theoretical and empirical evaluation of a competitive energy rebate program
Ta, Chi L. - 2021
Rebates that reward economic agents if they meet a minimum conservation threshold are a popular policy to encourage energy conservation. However, most threshold-based rebates are structured such that they do not encourage reduction beyond the threshold. In this paper, I show theoretically that...

Costs of energy efficiency mandates can reverse the sign of rebound
Fullerton, Don; Ta, Chi L. - 2019
Improvements in energy efficiency can reduce costs of consuming services from cars and appliances and result in positive rebound that offsets part of the direct energy reduction. Our analytical general equilibrium model decomposes rebound into direct and indirect effects. A costless technology...

Fuel efficiency improvements : feedback mechanisms and distributional effects in the oil market
Aune, Finn Roar; Bøeng, Ann Christin; Kverndokk, Snorre; … - 2015
We study the interactions between fuel efficiency improvements in the transport sector and the oil market, where the efficiency improvements are policy-induced in certain regions of the world. We are especially interested in feedback mechanisms of fuel efficiency such as the rebound effect,...
