A large proportion of local pollutants originating from the road transport sector is generated during the so-called cold-start phase of driving, that is, the first few minutes of driving after a car has stood inactive for several hours. Drawing on data from the German Mobility Panel (MOP), this...

Consumer subsidies are commonly employed to incentivize the purchase of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), but free-ridership potentially undermines their effectiveness. The present study investigates BEV subsidies in Germany, distinguishing their effect between company- and private cars. Drawing...

Energy labels have been introduced in many countries to increase consumers' attention to energy use in purchase decisions of durables. In a discrete-choice experiment among about 5,000 households, we implement randomized information treatments to explore how energy labels influence purchasing...

Dieser Artikel untersucht auf Basis einer Befragung von mehr als 5.000 Haushalten, wie viel die Haushaltsvorstände für Versorgungssicherheit mit Strom zu zahlen bereit sind. Alternativ zur Zahlungsbereitschaft (willingness to pay, WTP) wird auch nach der Bereitschaft gefragt, gegen eine...

Zum Stromverbrauch der in privaten Haushalten verbreiteten Elektrogeräte gibt es wenig empirische Evidenz. Um diese Lücke zu schließen, wird im folgenden Beitrag ein ökonometrisches Modell geschätzt, das auf Basis der Daten einer detaillierten Erhebung zum Stromverbrauch und zur...

Im Zuge der Energiewende schreitet der Ausbau der alternativen Stromerzeugungsanlagen in Deutschland mit hohem Tempo voran. Damit verbunden sind steigende Umlagen für die Förderung der Erneuerbaren und zunehmende Entgelte für den unvermeidlichen Ausbau der Stromnetze und somit weiter...

To provide the basis for evaluating the effectiveness of price policies, this paper contributes to the literature by estimating the heterogeneity in the response of residential electricity demand to price increases across household types. Drawing on household panel data from the German...

Given the rapid expansion of wind power capacities in Germany, this paper estimates the effects of wind turbines on house prices using real estate price data from Germany's leading online broker. Employing a hedonic price model whose specification is informed by machine learning techniques, our...

Drawing on the most recent wave of the German Residential Energy Survey (GRECS), this paper estimates the contribution of individual appliances to household electricity consumption. Moving beyond the standard focus of estimating mean effects, we combine the conditional demand approach with...
