The adverse effect of energy-efficiency policy
Voß, Achim - 2019
I analyze energy-efficiency policy as a prescription of a minimum-efficiency standard for energyusing household goods … like cars, building insulation, and home appliances. Such a policy has two effects. At the intensive margin, a household … consequences. I analyze the equilibrium effects of a minimum-efficiency standard, taking price adjustments and household …

Technology invention and diffusion in residential energy consumption : a stochastic frontier approach
Marin, Giovanni; Palma, Alessandro - 2015
Traditional large appliances absorb a large share of residential electricity consumption and represent important targets of energy policy strategies aimed at achieving energy security. Despite being characterized by rather mature technologies, this group of appliances still offers large...

Assessing the energy-efficiency gap
Gererden, Todd D.; Newell, Richard G.; Stavins, Robert N. - 2015
Energy-efficient technologies offer considerable promise for reducing the financial costs and environmental damages associated with energy use, but these technologies appear not to be adopted by consumers and businesses to the degree that would apparently be justified, even on a purely financial...

Energy efficiency and industrial output : the case of the iron and steel industry
Flues, Florens; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G.; Vögele, Stefan - 2013
The iron and steel industry is one of the most carbon emitting and energy consuming sectors in Europe. At the same time this sector is of high economic importance for the European Union. Therefore, while public environmental and energy policies target this sector, there is political concern that...

European energy efficiency and decarbonization strategies beyond 2030 : a sectoral multi-model decomposition
Förster, Hannah; Schumacher, Katja; De Cian, Enrica; … - 2014
Energy efficiency and decarbonization are important elements of climate change mitigation. We draw on European mitigation scenarios from the EMF28 modeling exercise to decompose economy-wide and sectoral emissions into their main components. We utilize the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI)...
