Heterogeneity in residential electricity consumption : a quantile regression approach
Frondel, Manuel; Sommer, Stephan; Vance, Colin - 2017
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...

What drives WTP for energy efficiency when moving? : Evidence from a Germany-wide household survey
Kesternich, Martin - 2010
The political discussion on energy efficiency is focusing more and more on the building sector due to its susceptibility to potential market failures like the negative external pollution effects of CO2 emission. Using a discrete choice approach, this paper aims at deriving factors which increase...

Does Better Information Lead to Better Choices? Evidence from Energy-Efficiency Labels
Davis, Lucas W. - 2014
Information provision is a key element of government energy-efficiency policy, but the information that is provided is often too coarse to allow consumers to make efficient decisions. An important example is the ubiquitous yellow “EnergyGuide” label, which is required by law to be displayed...

Direct and Indirect Rebound Effects in German Households : A Linearized Almost Ideal Demand System Approach
Schmitz, Hendrik - 2019
We estimate direct and indirect energy rebound effects for a wide variety of goods and services in Germany. To this end, we employ a linearized approximation of the popular Almost Ideal Demand System (LAIDS) approach suggested by Deaton and Muellbauer (1980). Excluding measures of energy...

The Role of Government in Anti-Social Redistributive Activities
Angelopulos, Kōnstantinos; Philippopulos, Apostolēs - 2021
of Afonso, Schuknecht and Tanzi (2003). Our regressions show that what really matters to social incentives is the … relation between size and efficiency. Specifically, while a larger size of government is bad for incentives when one ignores … exceeds our measure of efficiency, larger public sectors are bad for incentives. By contrast, when efficiency exceeds size …

Free-riding in tax credits for home insulation in France : an econometric assessment using panel data
Nauleau, Marie-Laure - 2014
This econometric study assesses the efficiency of the income tax credit system implemented in France in 2005 on households' retrofitting investment decisions, focusing on insulation measures. A logit model with random individual effects is estimated using an unbalanced panel of 23,879 households...

Drivers of energy efficiency in German manufacturing : a firm-level stochastic frontier analysis
Lutz, Benjamin Johannes; Massier, Philipp; Sommerfeld, … - 2017
Increasing energy efficiency is one of the main goals in current German energy and climate policies. We study the determinants of energy efficiency in the German manufacturing sector based on official firm-level production census data. By means of a stochastic frontier analysis, we estimate the...
