Energy expenditure in Egypt : empirical evidence based on a quantile regression approach
Belaïd, Fateh; Rault, Christophe - 2021
This paper investigates the key factors affecting household energy expenditure in Egypt. Based upon the latest 2015 … Regularization technique to untangle the spectrum of household energy expenditure. Unsurprisingly, income, age, household size … impact, while socio-economic attributes have a much larger one. The largest variations in household energy expenditures in …

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....

The choice of environmental policy instruments : energy efficiency and redistribution
Haupt, Alexander; Stadejek, Magdalena - 2010
We analyse optimal environmental policies in a market that is vertically differentiated in terms of the energy efficiency of products. Considering energy taxes, subsidies to firms for investment in more eco-friendly products, and product standards, we are particularly interested in how...

Is there an energy efficiency gap in China? : evidence from an information experiment
Beattie, Graham; Ding, Iza; La Nauze, Andrea - 2021
We provide evidence of an energy efficiency gap in China. Using an incentivized field experiment, we document that providing information to consumers on the energy costs of lightbulbs significantly affects their willingness to pay for energy efficient bulbs. Unlike previous literature, we do not...

Do consumers acquire information optimally? : experimental evidence from energy efficiency
La Nauze, Andrea; Myers, Erica - 2023
We use an experiment to test whether consumers optimally acquire information on energy costs in appliance markets where, like many contexts, consumers are poorly informed and make mistakes despite freely available information. To test for optimal information acquisition we compare the average...

Complementary inputs and industrial development : can lower electricity prices improve energy efficiency?
Singer, Gregor - 2024
The transition from traditional labor intensive to modern capital intensive production is a key factor for industrial development. Using half a million observations from Indian manufacturing plants, I analyze the effects of a secular decrease in industrial electricity prices through the lens of...

Heterogeneous household responses to energy price shocks
Peersman, Gert; Wauters, Joris - 2022
We use survey evidence on reported spending in hypothetical energy price shock scenarios to study novel features of the price elasticity of energy demand and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) after paying the energy bill. We find that the price elasticity is significantly larger for price...
