We test the hypothesis that protest participation decisions in an adult population of potential climate protesters are interdependent. Subjects (n = 1,510) from four German cities were recruited two weeks before protest date. We measured participation and beliefs about the other subjects'...

In a parsimonious two-sector general equilibrium model, we challenge the widely-held tenet that within a cap-and-trade system renewable energy policies have no effect on carbon emissions. If the cap does not capture all sectors, we demonstrate that variations of a renewable energy subsidy change...

In a general equilibrium model we clarify conditions for abatement-effective sector coupling. First, if the electricity sector is put under emissions trading any additional electricity consumption will be emission-free, such that relative emissions intensities do not matter for...

In this chapter we review research that rejects the widely held tenet that renewable energy promotion policies have no effect on carbon emissions if the electricity sector is subject to a cap-and-trade scheme. Specifically, it shows that such policies generally do have a net impact on carbon...

Previous research shows that humans display complexity aversion. In this article, we test for the presence of complexity aversion and its determinants in the context of voluntary climate action, where individual choices interact with the complex regulatory framework of the EU Emission Trading...

Governments around the globe embrace "energy efficiency" to address climate change. For example, the European Union’s "2030 Climate and Energy Framework" explicitly links the pledge to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40% until 2030 (from 1990 levels) to the goal of a 32.5% improvement of...

We test the hypothesis that protest participation decisions in an adult population of potential climate protesters are interdependent. Subjects (n = 1,510) from the four largest German cities were recruited two weeks before protest date. We measured participation (ex post) and beliefs about the...
