Information v. Energy Efficiency Incentives: Evidence from Residential Electricity Consumption in Maryland

Alberini, Anna; Towe, Charles - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015

We focus on two utility programs intended to reduce energy usage and the associated CO2 emissions—a home energy audit and rebates on the purchase of high-efficiency air-source heat pumps. We use a unique panel dataset from participating and non-participating households to estimate the average...

Security of Supply for Natural Gas Markets. What is it and What is it not?

Luciani, Giacomo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

The issue of security of gas supplies is frequently discussed on the basis of intuitive and non-systematic arguments. Greater import dependence is normally equated with greater insecurity, and strategic stocks are the risk management tool most commonly considered. This paper strives to offer a...

Combining Climate and Energy Policies: Synergies or Antagonism? Modeling Interactions With Energy Efficiency Instruments

Lecuyer, Oskar; Bibas, Ruben - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

In addition to the already present Climate and Energy package, the European Union (EU) plans to include a binding target to reduce energy consumption. We analyze the rationales the EU invokes to justify such an overlapping and develop a minimal common framework to study interactions arising from...
