We employ a unique field experimental setting to study the spillover effects of social comparisons on energy and water use in the residential sector. We find that electricity use-targeted social comparison induces conservation beyond electricity, leading to substantial reductions in energy use...

This paper assesses energy efficiency in Swedish industry. Using unique firm-level panel data covering the years 2001-2008, the efficiency estimates are obtained for firms in 14 industrial sectors by using data envelopment analysis (DEA). The analysis accounts for multi-output technologies where...

This paper analyzes the determinants of energy intensity and tests for convergence across 14 Swedish industrial sectors. The analysis builds on a non-parametric regression analysis of an intensity index constructed at the industry sector level as well as indexes constructed from a decomposition...
