Profit taxation, R&D spending, and innovation

Lichter, Andreas; Löffler, Max; Isphording, Ingo Eduard; … - 2021

We study how profit taxation affects plants' R&D spending and innovation activities. Relying on geocoded survey panel data which approximately covers the universe of R&D-active plants in Germany, we exploit around 7,300 changes in the municipal business tax rate over the period 1987-2013 for...

How do airlines cut fuel usage, reducing their carbon emissions?

Brueckner, Jan K.; Kahn, Matthew E.; Nickelsburg, Jerry - 2023

Airline fuel consumption is costly for the firms and for society as well due to a climate-change externality. We study how fuel price changes affect cost-minimizing choices by airlines that have implications for the extent of this externality. The airline industry's capital stock can be easily...

Does extending daylight saving time save energy? : Evidence from an Australian experiment

Kellogg, Ryan (contributor); Wolff, Hendrik (contributor) - 2007

Several countries are considering extending Daylight Saving Time (DST) in order to conserve energy, and the U.S. will extend DST by one month beginning in 2007. However, projections that these extensions will reduce electricity consumption rely on extrapolations and simulations rather than...

Differential and distributional effects of energy efficiency surveys : evidence from electricity consumption

Kniesner, Thomas J.; Rustamov, Galib - 2015

Our research investigates the magnitude of the effect of residential energy efficiency audit programs on later household electricity consumption. These programs are designed to increase awareness of household energy consumption with personalized feedback that will eventually lead to behavioral...

Does LEED certification save energy? : evidence from federal buildings

Clay, Karen; Severnini, Edson R.; Sun, Xiaochen - 2021

In the absence of first-best climate policy, energy efficiency has figured prominently among strategies to reduce carbon emissions. One of the most sought-after green certification in the building sector is the internationally recognized Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED). This...

Energy expenditure in Egypt: empirical evidence based on a quantile regression approach

Belaid, Fateh; Rault, Christophe - 2021

This paper investigates the key factors affecting household energy expenditure in Egypt. Based upon the latest 2015 Egyptian HIECS Survey, we develop a quantile regression model with an innovative variable selection approach via Adaptive Lasso Regularization technique to untangle the spectrum of...

Energy price shocks and the demand for energy-efficient housing : evidence from Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Braakmann, Nils; Dursun, Bahadir; Pickard, Harry - 2023

How do private consumers adapt to changes to energy prices, in particular do they invest in energy-saving measures? We study this question in the context of the rapid rise in energy prices caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the demand for energy efficiency in the UK...
