Which Households Respond to Electricity Peak Pricing Amid High Levels of Electrification?

Garnache, Cloé; Hernæs, Øystein; Imenes, Anders Gravir - 2022

We examine heterogeneity in Norwegian households’ price responses to critical peak pricing (CPP) on electricity consumption, using a large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT), high-frequency electricity data, and default enrollment. Increasing the grid transmission charge by 4,067%...

Heterogeneous preferences and the individual change to alternative electricity contracts

Ziegler, Andreas - 2018

Based on data from a large-scale computer-based survey among more than 3700 German citizens, this paper empirically disentangles the determinants of the general change of electricity contracts and the specific change to green electricity contracts. Our econometric analysis reveals a strong...

Tell Me Something I Don’t Already Know:Informedness and External Validity in Information Programs

Byrne, David P.; Nauze, Andrea La; Martin, Leslie A. - Department of Economics, Faculty of Business and Economics - 2014

Information programs that leverage peer comparisons are used to encourage pro-social behavior in many contexts. We … document how imperfect information generates heterogenous responses to treatments involving personalized feedback and peer … their relative energy consumption pre-treatment. Households that overestimated respond to new information by temporarily …

Site Selection Bias in Program Evaluation

Allcott, Hunt - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2012

"Site selection bias" can occur when the probability that a program is adopted or evaluated is correlated with its impacts. I test for site selection bias in the context of the Opower energy conservation programs, using 111 randomized control trials involving 8.6 million households across the...

Preference Heterogeneity and Adoption of Environmental Health Improvements : Evidence from a Cookstove Promotion Experiment

Jeuland, Marc; Pattanayak, Subhrendu K.; Tan Soo, Jie Sheng - 2014

Household preferences should influence adoption of environmental health-improving technologies, but there has been limited empirical research to isolate their importance, perhaps due to challenges of measurement and attribution. This paper explores heterogeneity in household preferences for...
