Modern Management: Good for the Environment or just Hot Air? (2010, unknown): “This literature (Howarth et al., 2000) has suggested that this lack of adoption of profitable initiatives without outside advice from the Government stems from a range of informational and principal–agent problems.”
Energy, the Environment, and Technological Change (2009, background): “Howarth et al. (2000) examine two voluntary programs of the U.”
Using a Policy Mix for Pollution Control { A Review of Economic Literature (2012, unknown): “Empirical studies on the Green Lights and Energy Star programs suggest that both have been successful at lowering energy consumption (DeCanio 1998; DeCanio and Watkins 1998; Howarth et al. 2000).”
Residential Energy-Efficient Technology Adoption, Energy Conservation, Knowledge, and Attitudes: An Analysis of European Countries (2012, background): “Typically, labelling schemes such as those implemented in the EU and US for household appliances are cost-effective measures to overcome barriers related to information and search costs, or to bounded rationality on the part of appliance purchasers (Sutherland 1991, Howarth et al. 2000).”
Energy saving and energy efficiency concepts for policy making (2009, background): “…taken as given the microeconomic parameters affecting energy efficiency and energy conservation (Howarth and Andersson, 1993; Sanstad and Howarth, 1994; IEA, 1997; Mintel International Group Ltd., 1997; Howarth et al., 2000; Clinch et al., 2000; Poortinga et al., 2003; Sorrell, 2004; Bor, 2008).”
What's driving energy efficient appliance label awareness and purchase propensity? (2010, background): “Labeling schemes are often promoted as a cost-effective measure to overcome barriers related to information and search costs, or to bounded rationality on the part of appliance purchasers (Sutherland, 1991; Howarth et al., 2000).”
Making the implicit explicit: A look inside the implicit discount rate (2016, background): “In this sense, energy labeling schemes are often considered to be a cost-effective measure to overcome external barriers related to lack of information and other transaction costs (Howarth et al., 2000; Sutherland, 1991).”
Environmental Policy and Technological Change (2002, background): “2, Howarth et al. (2000) explored the significance of inadequate information in inhibiting the diffusion of more efficient lighting equipment. Metcalf and Hassett (1999) compared available estimates of energy savings from new equipment to actual savings realized by users who have installed the equip”
ENERGY EFFICIENCY POLICIES: A Retrospective Examination (2006, background): “(96) suggest that Green Lights and other ENERGY STAR programs successfully save energy by reducing market failures related to imperfect information and bounded rationality.”
Second-best theory and the use of multiple policy instruments (2007, background): “Empirical evidence on the effects of the Green Lights and Energy Star programs suggests that the programs have successfully lowered energy consumption (DeCanio 1998; DeCanio and Watkins 1998; Howarth et al. 2000).”
