• Internal and external barriers to energy efficiency: which role for policy interventions? (2019, background): “Newell and Siikamäki (2015) apply this sequential approach and confirm that impatient individuals, those with higher discount rates, attach a lower value to the operating cost savings of an energyefficient appliance which occur in the future.”
• Does Better Information Lead to Better Choices? Evidence from Energy-Efficiency Labels (2016, background): “Newell and Siikamaki (2015) estimate a mean annual discount rate of 19% with large heterogeneity across individuals.”
