In this paper, we present the results from a field study on smart metering in Germany and Austria, focusing on the effects of providing feedback information on average electricity consumption. Econometric analyses are applied using a cross section of observations for more than 2000 households...

Energiearmut wird durch steigende Energiepreise und die gleichzeitig steigende Armut auch in der europäischen Union ein immer bedeutenderes Thema. Eine Vorreiterrolle bei der Erforschung von Energiearmut hält Großbritannien, wo das Problem schon lange existiert und deshalb bereits in den...

This paper describes final energy demand for different fuels at a disaggregated level of 12 activities of the economy plus households. The model used combines single equations for total final energy demand with translog functions for inter-fuel substitution. At both stages embodied and...

This paper deals with integrating elements of a bottom-up model of energy demand into a top-down model of total private consumption. The bottom-up elements are represented by the energy efficiency embodied in household appliances. The top-down model describes demand for energy and non-energy...
