Impact of service station networks on purchase decisions of alternative-fuel vehicles

Achtnicht, Martin; Bühler, Georg; Hermeling, Claudia - 2012

In this paper, we study the impact of fuel availability on demand for alternative-fuel vehicles, using data from a survey of some 600 potential car buyers in Germany. The survey was conducted as a computer-assisted personal interview and included a choice experiment involving cars with various...

German car buyers' willingness to pay to reduce CO2 emissions

Achtnicht, Martin - 2009

Motorised individual transport strongly contributes to global CO2 emissions, due to its intensive usage of fossil fuels. Current political efforts addressing this issue (i.e. emission performance standards in the EU) are directed towards car manufacturers. This paper focuses on the demand side....

Do environmental benefits matter? A choice experiment among house owners in Germany

Achtnicht, Martin - 2010

Residential buildings strongly contribute to global CO2 emissions due to the high energy demand for electricity and heating, particularly in industrialised countries. Within the EU, decentralised heat generation is of particular relevance for future climate policy, as its emissions are not...
