information about their energy use impacts on the environment. Moral obligation increases information avoidance when it is hot …Environmental policies based on information provision are widespread, but have often proven ineffective. One possible … explanation for information’s low effectiveness is that people actively avoid it. We conduct an online field experiment on air …

targets of energy policy strategies aimed at achieving energy security. Despite being characterized by rather mature … energy saving. The technical efficiency trend is modelled through a set of technology components representing both the … energy demand and inefficiency trends are both related to changes in the amount of available technology embodied in energy …

Energy efficiency is one of the key crossroads between energy, climate and economic issues. In fact, it represents one … of the most cost effective ways to enhance security of energy supply, to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and to … enhance economic competitiveness at one fell swoop. This paper explores the potential for energy efficiency gains in Turkey, a …

I analyze energy-efficiency policy as a prescription of a minimum-efficiency standard for energyusing household goods … invest at all. Thus, additional to and different from rebound effects, energy-efficiency policy may have unintended …, and reduces energy demand. More stringent policy is shown to be less effective or even counterproductive. For the case of …

We compare a range of energy efficiency policies in a durable good market subject to both energy-use externalities and …-end good. The rates should always be decreasing in energy efficiency. With per-quality subsidies, there is no such interference … product line if consumers are not too dissimilar, otherwise it should only target the low-end good. An energy tax should be …

Improving end-use energy efficiency-that is, the energy-efficiency of individuals, households, and firms as they … consume energy-is often cited as an important element in efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. Arguments for … improving energy efficiency usually rely on the idea that energy-efficient technologies will save end users money over time and …

assumptions information about energy expenditures, knowledge spillovers and the parameters governing the R&D process are …This paper applies the Directed Technical Change (DTC) framework to study improvements in the efficiency of energy use …. We present a theoretical model which (1) shows that the demand for energy is shifted down by innovations in energy …

reducing CO2 emissions is industrial energy efficiency, which is particularly relevant for the discussion on green … the extent to which energy efficiency interventions can generate simultaneous economic, environmental and employment … approach based on input-output tables to estimate the impact of improvements in industrial energy efficiency on value added …

This paper has two objectives. First it provides a correlation between internal and external barriers to energy … efficiency and consumer behaviour related to two domains. It evaluates behaviour related to energy curtailment, which represents …, which are one time actions such as purchasing new energy efficiency technologies.. Second, it assesses the effectiveness of …
