Saving behaviors of private households under varying tariff structures, price levels and incentives - experimental evidence
Harpenau, Franziska; Magalhaes, Katrin Marques; … - 2023
More efficient and sustainable energy consumption behaviors are crucial to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. This paper examines how dynamic personal pricing and externality cost incentives interact and affect energy conservation behaviors. We conduct an online lab experiment in...

Wealth, consumption, and energy-efficiency investments
Britto, Anthony; Dehler-Holland, Joris; Fichtner, Wolf - 2022
We revisit optimal investment in energy-efficiency, presenting a decision framework built around the agent's wealth and wealth dynamic. An investment rule in the form of a trigger is derived such that the agent invests the first time the energy-carrier price crosses this threshold from below....

Technology invention and diffusion in residential energy consumption : a stochastic frontier approach
Marin, Giovanni; Palma, Alessandro - 2015
Traditional large appliances absorb a large share of residential electricity consumption and represent important targets of energy policy strategies aimed at achieving energy security. Despite being characterized by rather mature technologies, this group of appliances still offers large...

Move it! : how an electric contest motivates households to shift their load profile
Weber, Sylvain; Puddu, Stefano; Pacheco, Diana - 2017
Photovoltaic systems generate electricity around noon, when many homes are empty. Conversely, residential electricity demand peaks in the evening, when production from solar sources is impossible. Based on a randomized control trial, we assess the effectiveness of alternative demand response...

An examination of energy efficiency retrofit scheme applications by low-income households in Ireland
Pillai, Arya; Reaños, Miguel Tobar; Curtis, John A. - 2021
This paper studies the determinants of why low-income households in Ireland abandon energy efficiency retrofit applications using administrative data from a targeted energy efficiency grant. By applying for the scheme the applicants overcome any financial barriers for undertaking retrofits...

Free riding, upsizing, and energy efficiency incentives in Marylandhomes
Alberini, Anna; Gans, Will; Towe, Charles - 2013
We use a unique dataset that combines the responses from an original survey of households, information about the structural characteristics of their homes, utility-provided longitudinal electricity usage records, plus utility program participation information, to study the uptake of energy...

Impacts of consumers' electricity price misperceptions
Baikowski, Martin - 2018
Empirical findings indicate that a large share of households misperceives electricity prices and is not able to make deliberate choices in energy service consumption, which leads to biased consumption decisions and thus to inefficient energy use. To investigate the impact of misperceived...
