Bounded rationality is an example of an important behavioral failure responsible for the energy-efficiency gap, whereby agents under-invest in energy-efficient technologies. One means of addressing this is by improving the energy-related financial literacy of households, which is defined as the...

Addressing hazardous levels of air pollution in densely-populated cities in emerging countries requires concerted efforts to reduce fossil fuel use, especially in the transport sector. Given that motorcycles comprise almost 80% of vehicle sales in Nepal, a viable alternative to reduce air...

Air pollution is a grave problem in urban areas of developing countries, with the transport sector being one of the largest contributors to emissions. A possibility to reduce carbon dioxide emissions would be for individuals to switch to more fuel-efficient vehicles. However, a gamut of...

Information on operating costs can enable potential buyers to purchase more fuelefficient vehicles. We test this hypothesis with a randomised controlled trial in a developing country, Nepal, using personalised information provision on a unique webbased platform. We find that receiving...

We investigate the existence of a principal-agent problem between parents and financially dependent adult children within households on the purchase of a durable (such as a vehicle). We theoretically argue that children will select more expensive durables if parents contribute more towards its...
