"More bang for the buck"? Evidence on the effectiveness of an energy efficiency subsidy
Bartels, Lara; Werthschulte, Madeline - 2023
subsidized. We use a framed field experiment to disentangle and study the relative importance of the price and non-price effects …-flow showerhead and are either confronted with the introduction of a subsidy or a same-sized price decrease. We find a demand increase … of about 3-percent when the price decreases and a significantly larger demand increase of about 9-percent when the …

What Drives the Efficiency of Hard Coal Fuelled Electricity Generation? An Empirical Assessment
Voigt, Sebastian; Hoffmann, Tim - 2009
abundance of hard coal and the price of hard coal are the two variables of our major interest. We assume that countries with an … coal abundance or the accessibility of hard coal, respectively, the hard coal price, the level of foreign direct investment …

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...

ICT and the demand for energy: Evidence from OECD countries
Rexhaeuser, Sascha; Schulte, Patrick; Welsch, Heinz - 2013
This paper analyzes the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) and energy demand. We construct a comprehensive cross-country cross-industry panel data set covering 13 years, 10 OECD countries, and 27 industries. Using up to 2889 country-industry observations, we find...

Beyond national economy-wide rebound effects: An applied general equilibrium analysis incorporating international spillover effects
Koesler, Simon; Swales, Kim; Turner, Karen - 2014
This paper proposes that the national focus of energy 'rebound' studies should be extended to an international context in the presence of supra-national agreements such as EU 20-20-20. The potential for energy efficiency improvements in one nation to impact energy use in others means that...

When nudges fail to scale: Field experimental evidence from goal setting on mobile phones
Löschel, Andreas; Rodemeier, Matthias; Werthschulte, … - 2020
Non-pecuniary incentives motivated by insights from psychology ("nudges") have been shown to be effective tools to change behavior in a variety of fields. An often unanswered question relevant for public policy is whether these promising interventions can be scaled up. In cooperation with a...
