Plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) are widely considered a promising option to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in transport. The electricity used for charging is decisive for the environmental assessment of PEV. Most studies assume the average grid mix for charging. This article provides a...

This paper analyzes how physicians adapt their provision of medical services when financial incentives change. Exploiting a plausibly exogenous and large-scale reform, we find that physicians are not immune to monetary incentives in a fee-for-service system. We isolate two response channels:...

Ziel des Forschungsvorhabens „Substitutionseffekte erneuerbarer Energien im Stromsektor“ (SeEiS) ist die Weiterentwicklung der Methodik zur Quantifizierung der verdrängten konventionellen Stromerzeugung durch die deutsche EE-Stromerzeugung. Um die Substitutionseffekte zu ermitteln, wird die...

In this paper, we present the results from a field study on smart metering in Germany and Austria, focusing on the effects of providing feedback information on average electricity consumption. Econometric analyses are applied using a cross section of observations for more than 2000 households...

This paper analyzes the effects of providing feedback on electricity consumption in a field trial involving more than 1,500 households in Linz, Austria. About half of these households received feedback together with information about electricity-saving measures (pilot group), while the remaining...
