1. Individual characteristics associated with risk and time preferences: A multi country representative survey

Abstract

This paper empirically analyzes how individual characteristics are associated with risk aversion, loss aversion, time discounting, and present bias. To this end, we conduct a large-scale demographically representative survey across eight European countries. We elicit preferences using incentivized multiple price lists and jointly estimate preference parameters to account for their structural dependencies. Our findings suggest that preferences are linked to a variety of individual characteristics such as age, gender, and income as well as some personal values. We also report evidence on the relationship between cognitive ability and preferences. Incentivization, stake size, and the order of presentation of binary choices matter, underlining the importance of controlling for these factors when eliciting economic preferences.

6. The Energy Efficiency Gap in the Rental Housing Market: It Takes Both Sides to Build a Bridge

Abstract

We revisit the issue of the energy efficiency (EE) gap by explicitly acknowledging the two-sided nature of the rental housing market and two-sided asymmetries of information between tenants and landlords. Employing a theoretical matching model, we show that Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) that signal a dwelling's energy performance induce optimal EE investments by landlords only if tenants pay their energy expenditures in full. When landlords pay part of the energy expenditures, they seek tenants who will conserve energy. Our model shows that asymmetry of information over tenant characteristics results in suboptimally low investments in EE. This may even render EPCs counterproductive. As a remedy, we show that tenant-side signaling needs to be rolled out jointly with EPCs and may even be sufficient when contracts include energy expenditures. Data from an original survey provides support for these insights and suggests that information on the tenants' side contributes to more EE investment. Keywords: Energy efficiency gap, Split incentives, Rental housing market, Matching, Signaling, Energy performance certificates, 1. INTRODUCTION There is ample evidence that households and organizations paradoxically fail to invest in energy efficiency (EE) measures that would be profitable for them based on net present value [...]

39. Data WP5: Citizen surveys

Author

Guetlein, Marie-Charlotte, Schleich, Joachim, and Dütschke, Elisabeth

Abstract

As an overarching objective, WP5 aims to quantitatively examine citizen’s individual perceptions of socio-economic, socio-cultural and socio-political enabling and impeding conditions of SIE and their acceptance to develop a better understanding of the potential scope and diffusion of SIE necessary for sustainable energy transitions. This WP relies on large sample quantitative methods (demographically representative householdsurveys with choice experiment in three countries: Germany, France and Poland).

47. Do green electricity tariffs increase household electricity consumption?

Abstract

In this paper we investigate whether households change electricity consumption after they switch to a green electricity tariff. Using metered data of household electricity consumption from a large provider of green electricity in Germany, our quasi-experimental analysis finds that household switching to a green tariff leads to a non-monetary renewable rebound effect of around 7.7%. Further, our findings imply that this renewable rebound effect is persistent over at least four years. These findings are observationally consistent with moral licencing effects which induce households to permanently change their habitual behaviours and/or to acquire additional electricity-consuming technologies. Thus, failure to account for a renewable rebound in policy evaluation may lead to systematically underestimate the costs of achieving energy and climate targets.
