The Welfare Effects of Misperceived Product Costs: Data and Calibrations from the Automobile Market (2013, background): “Allcott (2011) and Anderson, Kellogg, and Sallee (2011) test whether consumers expectations of future gas prices are consistent with current prices and oil futures, but this is conceptually distinct from the misperception studied here.”

Internal and external barriers to energy efficiency: which role for policy interventions? (2019, background): “Allcott (2011b) as well confirms that consumers react to the report not because their knowledge increases, but because the report increases the moral cost of energy use.”
Attention Variation and Welfare: Theory and Evidence from a Tax Salience Experiment (2016, background): “…Caplin and Dean (2015b) and (2013) find that study participants pay more attention to stimuli when given higher incentives, in accordance with a general class of rational inattention models; Allcott (2011, 2015) show that consumers pay more attention to energy costs when gasoline prices are higher.”
