Home improvement, wealth inequality, and the energy-efficiency paradox

Dröes, Martijn I.; Straten, Yasmine van der - 2024

This article examines the rate at which different households go green and how this affects the distribution of both wealth and CO2 benefits. Using a unique dataset from the Netherlands, we find that lower-income households are less likely to make their homes more energy efficient. At the same...

Curbing carbon : an experiment on uncertainty and information about CO2 emissions

Pace, Davide Domenico; Weele, Joël J. van der - 2020

We investigate how consumers respond to uncertainty about CO2 emission size. In an incentivized online experiment, participants can acquire a valuable good that emits an unknown amount of CO2. We find that beliefs about emission size are strongly predictive of purchases, even exceeding the...
