We build a system dynamics model to evaluate the potential dynamics of consumer adoption of "Smart Energy Behaviour". Within this term we include different levels of: i) shift in electricity consumption towards less costly-less polluting and congestioning hours; ii) the reduction of mainly...

Using a stated choice experiment, we find that a prime that makes environmental identity salient makes people behave greener, whereas it does not if it makes religious identity salient. Further-more, we discover non-linear priming effects for environmental identity, which means that rais-ing the...

How motorists might switch from gasoline and diesel to alternative energy sources is not known, since the availability of alternatives is currently very limited. To bridge this gap, we exploit recent exogenous variation in ethanol prices at Brazil's pumps and uncover substantial consumer...

The aim of this paper is to identify the path of the gasoline price elasticity, ethanol price elasticity, ethanol-gasoline cross-price elasticity and the gasoline-ethanol cross-price elasticity for the flex-fuel vehicle market, as well as to discuss the taxation policies impact of the Economic...

This paper approaches the transition process to the bioeconomy from consumers’ perspective and their attitudes to decision-making process regarding the use of renewable energy systems in households. The article contributes to the literature by introducing a new challenge: identifying and...

The increasing use of demand-side management as a tool to reliably meet electricity demand at peak time has stimulated interest among researchers, consumers and producer organizations, managers, regulators and policymakers, This research reviews the growing literature on models used to study...

This paper examines how the different characteristics of both electric vehicles themselves and the consumers would influence the consumption behavior on electric vehicles. Data collection is based on the questionnaire design using the orthogonal experimental method and large-scale stated...
