This paper analyzes the energy efficiency of China's 30 administrative regions during the period from 1997 to 2010. Most existing studies ignored the variation of production technologies among regions in China. Taking this factor into account, we introduce a parametric metafrontier approach...

Aim: The aim is to recognize the main determinants of the energy efficiency improvement in transport in Poland in the years 2000-2014 using structural and index decomposition analysis, and to identify areas where there is still potential for further reduction of energy consumption.Design /...

Many industrialized countries have recognized the need to mitigate energy cost increases faced by low-income households by fostering the adoption of energy-efficient technologies. How to meet this need is an open question, but “behavioral insights” are likely components of future policy...

To sustain the high economic growth trajectory of India, it is imperative that an adequate supply of energy is maintained over a long period of time. One such major initiative is the thrust laid on energy efficiency interventions as a low-hanging option for meeting the overarching energy and...

Management commitment and perception of the need to adapt and adjust hotel operations in the face of the energy crisis on the path of reducing energy consumption under the REPowerEU plan have been little addressed in the literature, although it is a very topical issue. This research fills this...

With the aim of limiting global warming, environmental subsidies are a popular public finance instrument to reduce carbon emissions. However, there is little evidence on why subsidies are effective in increasing demand for the goods subsidized. We use a framed field experiment to disentangle and...

Many industrialized countries have recognized the need to mitigate energy cost increases faced by low-income households by fostering the adoption of energy-efficient technologies. How to meet this need is an open question, but "behavioral insights" are likely components of future policy designs....

Inclusive and sustainable industrial development implies environmental friendly industrial growth with positive implications for social targets such as employment generation. One of the most important options available to policymakers for reducing CO2 emissions is industrial energy efficiency,...

This paper analyzes the consequences of innovations in the electronic goods sector for global energy consumption and identifies a global rebound effect with respect to trade in second-hand electronic consumption goods. With the help of 2SLS-regressions, the positive influence of trade in...

Aim: Propose a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) based approach to set energy efficiency targetsunder the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) framework of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE)Design / Research methods: We adopt input-oriented non-controllable DEA model with variablereturn to scale...
