This paper reports evidence from a field experiment investigating households' electricity saving behavior. We motivated households' efforts to save electricity via pro-environmental incentives that did not affect people's monetary utility but targeted their environmental preferences. The results...

Mobile applications hold promise to foster sustainable mobility behavior, but evaluations of their effectiveness are subject to a number of empirical challenges. We conduct a randomized controlled trial with three distinctive features: unobtrusive tracking of the control group, limited sample...

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) make up the largest share of companies in most economies. They are major users of resources and cause a large share of environmental pollution, which makes them relevant targets for public policy programs aiming to increase their sustainability. We study...

The provision of feedback about individual electricity consumption is a widely used approach to promote pro-environmental behavior. This form of feedback typically invokes social comparisons by informing households about their aggregate electricity consumption relative to others. While previous...

Feedback interventions are considered a promising instrument to promoteenergy conservation among households and thus, to mitigate climate change. Need. However,it remains unclear whether their effectiveness can be increased by incentivizing thepursuit of energy-savings goals. In this paper, we...
