The effect of power outages and cheap talk on willingness to pay to reduce outages
Carlsson, Fredrik; Martinsson, Peter; Akay, Alpaslan - 2009
Using an open-ended contingent valuation survey, we analyze how (i) experience of a power outage due to one of the worst storms ever to hit Sweden and (ii) a cheap talk script affect respondents' WTP to avoid power outages. Experience significantly increases and a cheap talk script decreases the...

Which Households Respond to Electricity Peak Pricing amid High Levels of Electrification?
Garnache, Cloé; Hernaes, Øystein; Imenes, Anders Gravir - 2022
We examine heterogeneity in Norwegian households' price responses to critical peak pricing (CPP) on electricity consumption, using a large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT), high-frequency electricity data, and default enrollment. Increasing the grid transmission charge by 4,067%...

Cooperative Models in Action : Simulation of a Nash-Bargaining Model of Household Labor Supply with Taxation
Bargain, Olivier; Moreau, Nicolas - 2005
Several theoretical contributions, starting with McElroy and Horney (1981) and Manser and Brown (1980), have suggested to model household behavior as a Nash-bargaining game. Since then, very few attempts have been made to operationalize cooperative models of household labor supply for policy...

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 shifts and rotates demand curves. The direction of the shift is …

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...
