Differential and Distributional Effects of Energy Efficiency Surveys : Evidence from Electricity Consumption
Kniesner, Thomas J. - 2016
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...

A Review of Renewable Energy Supply and Energy Efficiency Technologies
Abolhosseini, Shahrouz - 2014
Electricity consumption will comprise an increasing share of global energy demand during the next two decades. In recent years, the increasing prices of fossil fuels and concerns about the environmental consequences of greenhouse gas emissions have renewed the interest in the development of...

Does LEED Certification Save Energy? Evidence from Federal Buildings
Clay, Karen; Severnini, Edson; 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...

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...

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...

The simulation is usually interpreted … simulation procedure, however, typically keeps fixed the estimated alternative-specific constants. In this note we argue that …-specific constants leads to the development of a simulation procedure consistent with the comparative statics interpretation. The …

Accounting for Family Background When Designing Optimal Income Taxes : A Microeconometric Simulation Analysis
Aaberge, Rolf - 2009
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and adopt a generalised version of Roemer's (1998) Equality of Opportunity (EOp) framework, which we call extended EOp, for analysing second-best optimal income taxation. Unlike the pure EOp criterion of Roemer (1998) the extended EOp criterion allows...

Mostly Harmless Simulations? On the Internal Validity of Empirical Monte Carlo Studies
Advani, Arun - 2018
Currently there is little practical advice on which treatment effect estimator to use when trying to adjust for observable differences. A recent suggestion is to compare the performance of estimators in simulations that somehow mimic the empirical context. Two ways to run such 'empirical Monte...
