Adopting renewable energies at the individual level is required to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and transition to a society based on green energy. This study taps into this topic by exploring why and which consumers would adopt renewable energies using two...

Many countries are actively promoting a community solar program, which is a community energy program centered on solar photovoltaic power generation, as a public participation-type energy policy. In this study, we analyze the preferences of potential participants in community solar programs from...

Consumers’ food choices often deviate from rationality. This paper explores whether deviations from rationality impact home-grown values elicited using either bid- or choice-based value elicitation techniques. The paper focuses on second-price Vickrey auctions and discrete choice experiments,...

The past year has brought drastic changes to the European energy market. With recent dramatic increases in energy prices, it is of the utmost importance that residential users significantly increase their use of renewable energy. The aim of our study is to understand the complex psychological...

Selbst wenn die ehrgeizigen Ausbauziele für die erneuerbaren Energien erreicht werden,zeigt die vorliegende Simulation, dass Deutschland 2045 rund 100 GW an Wasserstoff (H2)-Kraftwerken benötigen wird. Trotz des enormen Bedarfs, der von der Politik noch nichtgesehen wird, verläuft der Ausbau...

Many countries have a clear policy objective of increasing their share of renewable energy sources (RESs). However, a major impediment to higher RES penetration often lies in the historically grown structures of a country's electricity sector. In Indonesia, policymakers have relied on cheap...

The existing literature on the consumers' attitude toward region-of-origin (RoO) provides numerous and varying evidence on the relative importance of this extrinsic attribute as compared to other product characteristics. The article aims at characterising the heterogeneity in the relative...

Extensive analysis of intertwinement with other industries caused the energy sector to gain momentum in the recent economic literature. This paper aims to create an indicator that captures the impact of financial stability for energy companies on all other industrial groups. To this end, we use...

Using an online multi-country video-vignette survey experiment, we measure bias against extractive industries and foreign firms in individuals perceptions and preferences related to industrial projects with potential economic benefits and environmental costs. Individuals face a hypothetical...
