investment behavior and barriers to investing in EE. A set of 16 barriers is constructed based on the literature. We find that …. The remaining profitable EE investment opportunities still leave room for another 15% of energy savings at the median firm … uncertainty. Past policies have not been successful in addressing these barriers. Additionally, we find that a firm's network can …

We provide evidence of an energy efficiency gap in China. Using an incentivized field experiment, we document that providing information to consumers on the energy costs of lightbulbs significantly affects their willingness to pay for energy efficient bulbs. Unlike previous literature, we do not...

Despite the vast literature on the energy-efficiency gap, there is a general dearth of investment models which … incorporate the consumer's temporal freedom in the investment decision. Focusing on the building sector, we formulate optimal … investment in energy efficiency as a problem of wealth growth-rate maximisation under uncertainty, subject to the diminishing …

Although information and communication technologies (ICT) consume energy themselves, they are considered to have the potential to reduce overall energy intensity within economic sectors. While previous empirical evidence is based on aggregated data, this is the first large-scale empirical study...

The paper uses plant-level data for 2008-2015 to examine the impact of the adoption of ISO 14000 on the energy intensity of Indian manufacturing plants. The propensity score matching difference-in-difference (PSM-DID) estimator is used for assessing the effect. The results show that the adoption...
