To provide the basis for evaluating the effectiveness of price policies, this paper contributes to the literature by estimating the heterogeneity in the response of residential electricity demand to price increases across household types. Drawing on household panel data from the German...

Solar thermal roof-top installations offer the potential to meet an important share of residential water and space heating demand in Germany. These systems are subsidised with grants under the so-called market incentive program. The political goal is to encourage the adoption of renewable energy...

Für den Ausbau von Windkraft und Solarenergie sowie für die Herstellung von Batterien, Elektromotoren und Brennstoffzellen sind Rohstoffe notwendig, die importiert werden müssen. Krisen in den vergangenen Jahren haben die Gefahr verdeutlicht, dass die Abhängigkeit von einzelnen Lieferanten...

Immer wieder werden die sinkenden Stromgestehungskosten erneuerbarer Energien herangezogen, um zu argumentieren, dass die Stromkosten in Deutschland sinken werden. Die Stromgestehungskosten stellen jedoch keine belastbare Grundlage für die Einschätzung der zukünftigen Stromkosten dar....

Seit 2021 steigen die Energiepreise kräftig an. Mit Beginn des russischen Kriegs gegen die Ukraine sind sie noch einmal in die Höhe geschnellt. Neben Lieferkettenstörungen und Exportrückgängen dämpft das die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung, Konjunkturprognosen wurden deutlich nach unten...

We analyze the pass-through of cost changes to retail tariffs in the German electricity market over the 2007 to 2014 period. We find an average pass-through rate of around 60%, which significantly varies with demand factors: while the pass-through rate to baseline tariffs, where firms have...

Space heating and hot water expenditures make up the majority of household energy demand in Germany, at 83.2%, making them an attractive target for energy policies. Using a panel dataset derived from yearly residential household surveys covering the years 1996 to 2014, we identify the...
