Implementation of energy-saving policies in China: How local governments assisted industrial enterprises in achieving energy-saving targets (2014, background): “…energy saving for enterprise managers (Chen and Porter, 2000; Li et al., 2013), the lack of systematic knowledge about energy-saving opportunities (Fleiter et al., 2012; Schleich, 2004), the insufficient energy management system (Chen and Porter, 2000; Fang and Zeng, 2007), incentives to continue…”
Energy Efficiency Determinants: An Empirical Analysis of Spanish Innovative Firms (2015, background): “In empirical analysis the literature has attempted to identify barriers that hinder the adoption of EE investments (Anderson and Newell, 2004; De Groot et al., 2001; Fleiter et al., 2012; Rohdin and Thollander, 2006; Trianni and Cagno, 2012).”
Barriers to increasing energy efficiency: evidence from small-and medium-sized enterprises in China (2013, background): “Likewise, the parameter associated with energy costs (ENERGYCOST) was found to be statistically significant, which is consistent with findings from previous studies (e.g., Schleicher and Gruber, 2008; Schleich, 2009; Fleiter et al., 2012).”
Putting an energy system transformation into practice: The case of the German Energiewende (2016, background): “An empirical analysis finds that for German small and medium enterprises high investment costs and a lack of capital are the two main barriers [67].”
