Information provision is a key element of government energy-efficiency policy, but the information that is provided is … energy cost information based on average national usage and energy prices. We conduct an online randomized controlled trial … significantly better choices. Consumers invest about the same amount overall in energy-efficiency, but the allocation is much better …

We analyze optimal policy when consumers of energy-using durables undervalue energy costs relative to their private … distortions from underinvestment in energy efficiency. Discrete choice simulations of the auto market suggest that the Internality … consumers marginal to each instrument. Because consumers who undervalue energy costs are mechanically less responsive to energy …

We evaluate the effectiveness of energy efficiency labeling in guiding household decisions. Using a carefully designed … intertemporal behavior (i.e., discounting) in guiding energy efficiency behavior. We find that simple information on the economic … value of saving energy was the most important element guiding more cost-efficient investments in energy efficiency, with …

This article provides an overview of the use of field experiments in energy and resource economics. I concentrate on … and water and (ii) explore the adoption of energy saving technologies. Viewed in its totality, this work suggests that … influence the use of energy and water. For academics, the studies reviewed provide a deeper understanding of individual behavior …

We examine the role of individual discount rates in energy efficiency decisions using evidence from an extensive survey … of U.S. homeowners to elicit preferences for energy efficiency and cash flows over time. We find considerable … invest in energy efficiency, as measured through product choices, required payback periods, and energy efficiency tax credit …
