Does financial compensation increase the acceptance of power lines? Evidence from Germany
Simora, Michael; Frondel, Manuel; Vance, Colin - 2018
Although public support for renewable energy promotion in Germany is strong, the required power line construction has incited a groundswell of opposition from residents concerned about the impacts on their neighborhoods. This paper evaluates a large randomized one-shot binary-choice experiment...

Heterogeneity in the Rebound Eff ect – Further Evidence for Germany
Frondel, Manuel; Ritter, Nolan; Vance, Colin - Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für … - 2010
Rebound effects measure the behaviorally induced offset in the reduction of energy consumption following efficiency improvements. Using both panel estimation and quantile-regression methods on household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2009, this study investigates the...

Re-Identifying the Rebound – What About Asymmetry?
Frondel, Manuel; Vance, Colin - Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für … - 2011
Rebound eff ects measure the behaviorally induced off set in the reduction of energy consumption following effi ciency improvements. Using panel estimation methods and household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2009, this study identifi es the rebound eff ect in private...

A Count Data Analysis of Ridership in Germany’s Public Transport
Frondel, Manuel; Vance, Colin - Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für … - 2010
Focusing on adult members of German households, this paper investigates the determinants of public transit ridership with the aim of quantifying the effects of fuel prices, fares, person-level attributes, and characteristics of the transit system on transport counts over a five-day week. The...

Asymmetry – Resurrecting the Roots
Frondel, Manuel; Schmidt, Christoph M.; Vance, Colin - Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für … - 2013
This note attempts to reconcile a range of primary methods for dealing with price asymmetry, such as the approaches proposed by Tweeten and Quance (1969), Wolffram (1971) and Houk(1977). Using Wolffram’s stylized example, we first illustrate that the notion of asymmetry can be captured in a...

Heterogeneity in the Effect of Home Energy Audits – Theory and Evidence
Frondel, Manuel; Vance, Colin - Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für … - 2012
A longstanding question in the study of energy demand concerns the role of information as a determinant of home …-efficiency improvements. Although the provision of information via home energy audits is frequently asserted to be an effective means for … to measure their effect: first, the nature of the information provided by the audit is typically unobserved, and, second …

Fuel Taxes versus Efficiency Standards – An Instrumental Variable Approach
Frondel, Manuel; Vance, Colin - Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für … - 2013
Using household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2012, we employ an instrumental variable (IV) approach to estimate fuel price and efficiency elasticities. The aim is to gauge the relative impacts of fuel economy standards and fuel taxes on distance traveled. We find that...

Is the German Retail Gas Market Competitive? A Spatial-temporal Analysis Using Quantile Regression
Vance, Colin; Kihm, Alexander; Ritter, Nolan - Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für … - 2014
We explore whether non-competitive pricing prevails in Germany’s retail gasoline market by examining the influence of the crude oil price on the retail gasoline price, focusing specifically on how this influence varies according to the brand and to the degree of competition in the vicinity of...

How Full Is the tank? – Insights on Short-run Fuel Price Reactions from German Travel Diary Data
Ritter, Nolan; Schmidt, Christoph M.; Vance, Colin - Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für … - 2013
We provide evidence that motorists respond to short-run fluctuations in fuel prices at the gas pump and not on the road. Employing variants of censored panel regression to control for unobserved heterogeneity and censoring of the dependent variable, we find that the fuel price has a large and...
