Information Nudges, Subsidies, and Crowding Out of Attention : Field Evidence from Energy Efficiency Investments

Rodemeier, Matthias; Löschel, Andreas - 2023

How can information substitute or complement financial incentives such as Pigouvian subsidies? We answer this question in a large-scale field experiment that cross-randomizes energy efficiency subsidies with information about the financial savings of LED lighting. Information has two effects: It...
