Information Programs for Technology Adoption: The Case of Energy-Efficiency Audits
Newell, Richard; Anderson, Soren - 2002
We analyze technology adoption decisions of manufacturers in response to energy audits provided by Department of Energy Industrial Assessment Centers. Using fixed effects logit estimation to control for unobserved plant characteristics, we find that plants respond as expected to financial costs...

Residential Energy Consumption for Space Heating in Norwegian Households A Discrete-Continuous Choice Approach
Nesbakken, Runa - 1998
In this paper the demand for space heating energy is estimated by using a discrete-continuous choice model which focuses on the relationship between the choice of heating equipment and energy consumption. The model is estimated on Norwegian micro data, and the two stages of the model are...

Price Sensitivity of Residential Energy Consumption in Norway
Nesbakken, Runa - 1998
The main aim of this paper is to test the stability of the results of a model which focus on the relationship between the choice of heating equipment and the residential energy consumption. The results for the income and energy price variables are of special interest. Stability in the time...

Possibility for hedging from price increases in residential energy demand
Halvorsen, Bente; Larsen, Bodil M. - 2003
Liberalisation of the Norwegian electricity market has given more short-term variation in the electricity price. Since almost three quarters of Norwegian households have heating equipment using more than one energy carrier, we would expect them to be able to hedge from price increases and...

Accounting for differences in choice opportunities in analyses of energy expenditure
Halvorsen, Bente; Nesbakken, Runa - 2004
Zero expenditure poses several challenges when estimating demand systems. Zero expenditure on energy goods occur due to limited opportunity to consume the good or because the household chooses not to use all available equipment (corner solution). In this paper we develop a method to estimate an...

Estimating consumption and changes in stock applying micro expenditure data
Halvorsen, Bente - 2009
many cases, we have information about expenditures only, not consumption. A method is developed to obtain an estimate of … discrete information about the utilization of available equipment complementary to the storable good in consumption. Household …

How do investments in heat pumps affect household energy consumption?
Halvorsen, Bente; Larsen, Bodil Merethe - 2013
Increased energy efficiency is often seen as the best way of reducing energy consumption. However, the cost reduction resulting from the efficiency increase can undermine the energy-saving potential of the efficiency measures. In this study, we develop a method for decomposing the behavioral...

Nudging Energy Efficiency Behavior: The Role of Information Labels
Newell, Richard G.; Siikamäki, Juha - 2013
different types of information and intertemporal behavior (i.e., discounting) in guiding energy efficiency behavior. We find … that simple information on the economic value of saving energy was the most important element guiding more cost …-efficient investments in appliance energy efficiency, with information on physical energy use and carbon dioxide emissions having additional …

The effect of SMS reminders on health screening uptake: A randomized experiment in Indonesia
Marcus, Maja E.; Reuter, Anna; Rogge, Lisa; Vollmer, … - 2021
While the burden of non-communicable diseases is rising in low- and middle-income countries, the uptake of screening for these diseases remains low. We conducted a community-based RCT in Indonesia to assess whether personalized and targeted text messages can increase the demand for existing...
