What drives WTP for energy efficiency when moving? : Evidence from a Germany-wide household survey

Kesternich, Martin - 2010

The political discussion on energy efficiency is focusing more and more on the building sector due to its susceptibility to potential market failures like the negative external pollution effects of CO2 emission. Using a discrete choice approach, this paper aims at deriving factors which increase...

Drivers of energy efficiency in German manufacturing : a firm-level stochastic frontier analysis

Lutz, Benjamin Johannes; Massier, Philipp; Sommerfeld, … - 2017

Increasing energy efficiency is one of the main goals in current German energy and climate policies. We study the determinants of energy efficiency in the German manufacturing sector based on official firm-level production census data. By means of a stochastic frontier analysis, we estimate the...

Credit constraints, energy management practices, and investments in energy saving technologies : German manufacturing in close-up

Löschel, Andreas; Lutz, Benjamin Johannes; Massier, Philipp - 2017

We analyze the drivers and barriers that influence investments increasing the energy efficiency of firms' production processes or buildings in the German manufacturing sector based on microdata. In particular, we shed light on the relationship between financial barriers (e. g. credit...

Catching the rebound : economy-wide implications of an efficiency shock in the provision of transport services by households

Koesler, Simon - 2013

We investigate the rebound effect of a 10% energy cefficiency improvement in the provision of private transport services by German households. In the process, we take into account that household behaviour may be influenced by habits, build on a detailed representation of the provision of private...

Energy efficiency and industrial output : the case of the iron and steel industry

Flues, Florens; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G.; Vögele, Stefan - 2013

The iron and steel industry is one of the most carbon emitting and energy consuming sectors in Europe. At the same time this sector is of high economic importance for the European Union. Therefore, while public environmental and energy policies target this sector, there is political concern that...

Beyond national economy-wide rebound effects : an applied general equilibrium analysis incorporating international spillover effects

Koesler, Simon; Swales, John Kim; Turner, Karen - 2014

This paper proposes that the national focus of energy ‘rebound’ studies should be extended to an international context in the presence of supra-national agreements such as EU 20-20-20. The potential for energy efficiency improvements in one nation to impact energy use in others means that...

ICT and the demand for energy : evidence from OECD countries

Rexhäuser, Sascha; Schulte, Patrick; Welsch, Heinz - 2013

This paper analyzes the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) and energy demand. We construct a comprehensive cross-country cross-industry panel data set covering 13 years, 10 OECD countries, and 27 industries. Using up to 2889 country-industry observations, we find...

Environmental innovations and profitability : how does it pay to be green?; an empirical analysis on the German innovation survey

Ghisetti, Claudia; Rennings, Klaus - 2013

Much of the empirical literature analysing the relation between environmental innovation and competitiveness has focused on the question whether “it pays to be green”. We differentiate between different types of environmental innovations, which will be disentangled in those aiming at...
