What Drives WTP for Energy Efficiency When Moving? Evidence from a Germany-Wide Household Survey

Kesternich, Martin - 2014

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Identifying the Rebound : Theoretical Issues and Empirical Evidence from a German Household Panel

Frondel, Manuel; Peters, Jörg; Vance, Colin - 2015

Using a panel of household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2005, this study assesses the effectiveness of fuel efficiency improvements by econometrically estimating the rebound effect, describing the extent to which higher efficiency causes additional travel.Following a...

Heterogeneity in the rebound effect further evidence for Germany

Frondel, Manuel; Ritter, Nolan; Vance, Colin - 2010

Rebound effects measure the behaviorally induced off set 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...
