- The Light and the Heat: Productivity Co-Benefits of Energy-Saving Technology (2019, result): “It may also be that low adoption is simply a result of the fact that returns are smaller, or costs higher, in practice than engineering projections predict (Fowlie et al., 2015; Ryan, 2017).”
- Do Energy Efficiency Investments Deliver? Evidence from the Weatherization Assistance Program (2018, background): “Online Appendix 1 and Fowlie, Greenstone, and Wolfram (2015) provide more details on the encouragement and application assistance programs.”
- High energy burden and low-income energy affordability: conclusions from a literature review (2020, background): “Some studies indicate there may also be high non-monetary costs associated with participation in a weatherization program that affect participation (Hirshfield and Iyer 2012, Fowlie et al 2015).”
- The role of information for energy efficiency in the residential sector (2015, unknown): “But even when investments are completely funded by the government, there may be significant transaction costs that could discourage consumers from investing even if they have been provided with the information to reduce energy consumption (Fowlie et al., 2015).”
- What does an electric vehicle replace? (2019, background): “Fowlie et al. (2015) find evidence that high non-monetary costs contribute to the low participation of energy efficiency investment for households and there are demographic differences between households that chose to participate on their own and those that were encouraged to participate in the…”
