Ziel dieses Papers ist es, im Hinblick auf die in Deutschland geplante Einfuehrung eines Qualitaetsanreizsystems bei Elektrizitaetsnetzbetreibern, eine geeignete Methode fuer die hierfuer notwendige Bewertung der Netzzuverlaessigkeit - gleichbedeutend mit den wohlfahrtswirksamen...

This paper assesses to what extent consumers are willing to make use of the features and capabilities offered by smart meters. Via a choice experiment households are offered the choice between a set of smart meters, described by six attributes: impact on the comfort and privacy level,...

Motorized individual transport strongly contributes to global CO2 emissions, due to its intensive usage of fossil fuels. Current political efforts addressing this issue (i.e. emission performance standards in the EU) are directed towards car manufacturers. This paper focuses on the demand side....

In this paper, we identify key drivers and barriers for the adoption of building energy retrofits in Germany, which is promoted by public policy as an important measure to address the future challenges of climate change and energy security. We analyze data from a 2009 survey of more than 400...

This paper assesses whether and to what extent Flemish households are willing to pay for electricity generated with renewable resources. Via a choice experiment, households were offered the choice between as set of green electricity contracts, characterised by the renewables share in electricity...

This paper estimates the willingness to pay of Flemish households for continuous power supply, based on a stated preference approach. The data were collected via choice experiments which were then used to estimate a set of logit models ranging from a main effects conditional logit model to...

In this paper, we identify key drivers and barriers for the adoption of building energy retro fits in Germany, which is promoted by public policy as an important measure to address the future challenges of climate change and energy security. We analyze data from a 2009 survey of more than 400...

This paper uses a random utility model with a non-linear utility function to estimate the consumers’ valuation for energy efficient insulation and ventilation systems in apartment buildings. The proposed model is applied to data from a choice experiment conducted among 264 apartment tenants in...

In a split sample design, we examine how the number of choice sets, design of the first choice set (starting point), and the choice of attribute levels in the cost attribute affect the precision in the elicited preferences in otherwise completely identical choice experiment surveys. These issues...

Using a choice experiment survey, the marginal willingness to pay (WTP) among Swedish households for reductions in power outages is estimated. The results from the random parameter logit estimation indicate that the marginal WTP increases with the duration of the outages, and is higher if the...
