We provide novel evidence for the size of key electric vehicle (EV) adoption barriers, purchase price and battery range, and the driver, operating cost, in the broadening EV market. We further demonstrate the heterogeneity of these across consumer segments, plus determine groups most resistant...

We elicit homeowners' marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for energy efficiency and low-carbon technologies in the context of replacement heating appliances. We exploit a novel within-between subject design that involves manipulating information in a two-stage discrete choice experiment (DCE) and...

Complexity within the decision-making process can inhibit energy investment for residential buildings. In this paper, we explore effects of complexity on investment behaviour, as well as the impact of experience with similar investments and of subsidies as a promoting policy tool. To shed light...

Using a choice experiment conducted among more than a thousand Swiss consumers, we analyze the individual demand for voluntary carbon offsets in different contexts. The analysis is used to identify the consumers’ underlying motives for offsetting emissions, the context effects on their...

We propose a two-stage instrumental variable estimator that is consistent if there is selective compliance in the treatment group of a randomized experiment and the outcome variable is a censored duration. The estimator assumes full compliance in the control group. We use the estimator to...
