- Are consumers willing to pay to let cars drive for them? Analyzing response to autonomous vehicles (2017, background): “Expanding on Jaffe and Stavins (1994), several resource and energy economists have added to the debate about the energy paradox (Newell and Siikamäki, 2013; Allcott and Greenstone, 2012; Ansar and Sparks, 2009; Van Soest and Bulte, 2001; DeCanio, 1998; Hassett and Metcalf, 1993).”
- Investment in energy efficiency: do the characteristics of investments matter? (2012, background): “According to mainstream neoclassical economics, investment decisions are strictly based on investment profitability, and firms should undertake all investments with a positive net present value.1 Energy-efficiency investments are not decided upon by profit-seeking firms because of their low real pro”
- Make it strategic! Financial investment logic is not enough (2011, background): “For mainstream energy economists (among others, Anderson and Newell 2004; Golove and Eto 1996; Jaffe and Stavins 1994; Sutherland 1991; Van Soest and Bulte 2001), negative investment decisions are due to a high level of risk (partially due to irreversibility of energyefficiency investments) and a…”
