While the introduction and reformation of climate policy instruments take place rapidly in Europe, the knowledge on how the instruments interact lags behind. In this paper we analyse different interpretations of the 2030 climate policy goals for residential energy efficiency and how they...

This paper investigates how households respond to efficiency improvement of their heating system. Micro-level rebound effects are estimated using a survey with an innovative choice experiment based on the stated preference approach. The experiment design allows to identify the direct and...

Increased energy efficiency is often seen as the best way of reducing energy consumption. However, the cost reduction resulting from the efficiency increase can undermine the energy-saving potential of the efficiency measures. In this study, we develop a method for decomposing the behavioral...
