Will firms go green if it pays? The impact of disruption, cost, and external factors on the adoption of environmental initiatives (2017, background): “Studying energy savings initiatives is also advantageous because they have been the focus of prior studies, primarily from an economics perspective (Anderson and Newell, 2004; Jaffe et al., 2004), though recent studies have examined the effect of behavioral factors (Muthulingam et al., 2013).”
Determinants of households’ investment in energy efficiency and renewables: evidence from the OECD survey on household environmental behaviour and attitudes (2015, background): “In that case, the landlord might not be able to recover the cost of energy efficiency measures through higher rents, which can lead to underinvestment (Jaffe et al. 2004).”
Energy Efficiency: Economics and Policy (2010, background): “Yet it should be remembered that these high discount rates are not values expressed by consumers, but rather implicit rates, and so they do not constitute a market failure by themselves, nor should they be used as an explanation of the behaviour of consumers (Jaffe et al., 2004), because they”
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).”
The Role of Behavioural Economics in Energy and Climate Policy (2011, unknown): “Kempton et al. (1992) shows that consumers systematically miscalculate payback periods for air conditioners, and this leads to overconsumption of energy.”
Energy Efficiency Determinants: An Empirical Analysis of Spanish Innovative Firms (2015, background): “At the same time, a large number of studies of EE potential indicate that EE cost-effective measures are often not carried out in the industrial sector because of market failures and market barriers, bounded rationality and organisational problems, among other things (Backlund et al., 2012; Brown, 2”
Barriers to industrial energy efficiency in foundries: a European comparison (2013, background): “, 2000), with further revisions in 2004 (Sorrell et al., 2004) and 2010 (Sorrell et al.”
Energy, the Environment, and Technological Change (2009, background): “…with respect to adoption of new technology are part of the explanation for the apparent “paradox” of underinvestment in energy-saving technologies that appear cost-effective but are not widely utilized (Jaffe and Stavins 1994; Newell, Jaffe, and Stavins 2004; Gillingham, Newell, and Palmer 2009).”
