What drives WTP for energy efficiency when moving? : Evidence from a Germany-wide household survey

Kesternich, Martin - 2010

The political discussion on energy efficiency is focusing more and more on the building sector due to its susceptibility to potential market failures like the negative external pollution effects of CO2 emission. Using a discrete choice approach, this paper aims at deriving factors which increase...

Electricity market integration and the impact of unilateral policy reforms

Grossi, Luigi; Heim, Sven; Hüschelrath, Kai; Waterson, … - 2015

The harmonization and integration of separate national energy markets to an interconnected internal European market is a top priority of the European Commission. However, as energy policy largely remains subject to national sovereignty, a higher degree of integration can cause unilateral...

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...

Catching the rebound : economy-wide implications of an efficiency shock in the provision of transport services by households

Koesler, Simon - 2013

We investigate the rebound effect of a 10% energy cefficiency improvement in the provision of private transport services by German households. In the process, we take into account that household behaviour may be influenced by habits, build on a detailed representation of the provision of private...

The effect of regulatory scrutiny asymmetric cost pass-through in power wholesale and its end

Mokinski, Frieder; Wölfing, Nikolas - 2013

We find an asymmetric pass-through of European Emission Allowance (EUA) prices to wholesale electricity prices in Germany and show that this asymmetry has disappeared in response to a report on investigations by the competition authority. The asymmetric pricing pattern, however, was not detected...

Beyond national economy-wide rebound effects : an applied general equilibrium analysis incorporating international spillover effects

Koesler, Simon; Swales, John 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...

Price and income elasticities of residential energy demand in Germany

Schulte, Isabella; Heindl, Peter - 2016

We apply a quadratic expenditure system to estimate price and expenditure elasticities of residential energy demand (electricity and heating) in Germany. Using official expenditure data from 1993 to 2008, we estimate an expenditure elasticity for electricity of 0.3988 and of 0.4055 for space...

certain thresholds established by legislation, pay reduced marginal tax rates. As a consequence, the marginal tax rate is a … tax rates on the economic performance of firms using a regression discontinuity design. Our econometric analysis relies on … manufacturing sector. We do not find any systematic, statistically significant effects of the electricity tax on firms' turnover …

What's driving sustainable energy consumption? : a survey of the empirical literature

Brohmann, Bettina; Heinzle, Stefanie; Rennings, Klaus; … - 2009

The focus of the paper is on the individual decision of energy consumers, and it's relation to sustainable consumption. Consumer behavior is based on individual decisions, but it depends largely on supply-side measures and an appropriate infrastructure (e.g. the availability of energy-efficient...
