Nudging Energy Efficiency Audits : Evidence from A Field Experiment
Gillingham, Kenneth - 2017
This paper uses a randomized field experiment to test how information provision leveraging social norms, salience, and a personal touch can serve as a nudge to influence the uptake of residential energy audits. Our results show that a low-cost carefully-crafted note-card can increase the...
