Residential heating accounts for almost one-fifth of Germany’s final energy consumption. This report evaluates an extensive database of heating bills for buildings with two or more apartments, representing more than two-thirds of the total housing stock in Germany. Despite commitments to...

Das Beheizen von Wohnräumen macht fast ein Fünftel des Endenergieverbrauchs in Deutschland aus. Der vorliegende Bericht wertet einen umfangreichen Datenbestand von Heizenergieabrechnungen von Zwei- und Mehrfamilienhäusern in Deutschland aus – diese repräsentieren mehr als zwei Drittel des...

Die Heizkosten für private Haushalte sanken 2017 zum vierten Mal in Folge deutlich. Der Heizenergieverbrauch allerdings stagniert auf dem Niveau von 2010 und es zeichnet sich hinsichtlich des Klimaschutzes eine verlorene Dekade ab. Dies zeigen die Auswertungen des Wärmemonitors 2017, der vom...

Effective attention to information may play a prominent role in consumer choice for energy-intensive services and it may simply be a function of receiving timely information when consumption takes place. This paper investigates whether and why the timing of utility bills leads to salience bias...

This paper explores the extent to which emissions limits on stack concentrations under the Large Combustion Plant (LCP) Directive succeeded in mitigating local air pollutants from thermal power stations in the European Union. We take advantage of the discontinuities in regulation status to show...

This paper explores the extent to which the Large Combustion Plant (LCP) Directive succeeded in mitigating local air pollutants from thermal electricity generating plants in the European Union. Using yearly data on plant-level operations from the EEA, we investigate whether emissions limits on...
