This report reviews the literature on the impact of real-time information provision on consumer decision-making. In addition, it describes the results of a study in which about 7000 households in Ontario, Canada were provided with in-home displays linked to smart meters that provided real-time...

We develop a stylized general equilibrium model to decompose the rebound effect of energy efficiency improvements into its partial and general equilibrium components. In our theoretical analysis, we identify key drivers of the general equilibrium rebound effect, including a composition channel,...

Time-of-use (TOU) pricing for electricity is an effective means to allocate electricity, though regulators are increasingly employing non-market strategies to provide information and induce conservation. We evaluate a large-scale field trial in which households facing TOU pricing were given an...

Over 50 countries representing three quarters of global CO2 emissions have pledged to achieve a net-zero carbon economy by 2050, and energy efficiency improvements are a primary contributor in policy scenarios that attain this goal. However, uncertainties remain about the realized effectiveness...
