• The role of information for energy efficiency in the residential sector (2015, unknown): “For example, Davis and Metcalf (2014) evaluated the quality of the information provided by the mandatory labels for appliances used in the U.S.”
• Internal and external barriers to energy efficiency: which role for policy interventions? (2019, background): “Except for few contributions (Allcott and Sweeney 2016; Allcott and Greenstone 2017), the empirical findings confirm that lack of relevant information leads to underinvestment in energy efficiency (Ward et al. 2011; Newell and Siikamäki 2014; Davis and Metcalf 2016; Houde 2018).”
