An increase in energy-cost can induce energy efficiency improvement - a reduction in energy-output ratio. There are … well-established theoretical conjectures of how this can take place. As the relative energy-cost increases, it induces … firms to reallocate and selectively utilize the most energy-efficient vintages. In the long-run firms could also achieve …

In many countries, the transition process towards a low-carbon economy has been associated with increasing electricity prices. Microeconometric evaluations of the causal impact of electricity price changes on plant-level outcomes are rare, though. By exploiting local randomization induced by...

The implementation of decarbonization policies depends crucially on the public’s willingness to pay for them. We use stated preference methods to investigate the public’s preferences for such policies. We ask three research questions. First, does the willingness to pay (WTP) for each ton of...

Within the German welfare system, heating expenditures of recipients are in general fully covered by the government. This paper empirically tests for the hypothesis that households receiving welfare payments turn to over consumption of residential space heating. We use microdata from two...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a modification of a standard four input production process where energy is … used in an inefficient way due to partly unnecessary waste of energy. In this production process, R&D investment is an … additional input in order to improve energy efficiency. It closes the gap between energy purchased and energy used effectively …

This paper presents an estimation of the cost of reducing CO2 emissions as agreed in Kyoto by Annex I countries. Unlike most of the existing literature, this paper focuses on European Union countries' abatement costs and, using a simple model, estimates the role of each EU country within a EU...
