- The Impact of State Level Building Codes on Residential Electricity Consumption (2011, background): “…we attempt to identify their impact on aggregate demand for the entire US, at the cost of not being able to utilize household level data, which provides evidence using a different experimental design and arrives at almost identical point estimates to those obtained by Jacobsen and Kotchen (2010).”
- Internal and external barriers to energy efficiency: which role for policy interventions? (2019, methodology): “been mainly used in the investment domain as they are not designed to influence energy curtailment and they are found to expedite the transitions towards more energy-efficient investments (Greening et al. 1997; Davis 2008; de Melo and Jannuzzi 2010; Costa and Kahn 2010, 2011; Tao and Yu 2011; Aroonr”
- The role of information for energy efficiency in the residential sector (2015, unknown): “…intensity, electricity and gas prices and the share of new construction, to compare per capital electricity consumption in 48 U.S. states; while Jacobsen and Kotchen (2013) compare billing data on electricity and gas consumption in more than 60.000 dwellings in Florida before and after an…”
- On the Economics of Energy Labels in the Housing Market (2011, unknown): “Although building codes have generally been mildly effective in reducing energy consumption [3,18], globally policy makers target the real estate sector with stricter energy-efficiency standards and mandates.”
- Energy Efficiency and Household Behavior: The Rebound Effect in the Residential Sector (2014, background): “While stricter building codes seem to have reduced the energy consumption of newly constructed dwellings (Jacobsen and Kotchen, 2013), codes as a policy instrument alone may be insufficient to meet broader energy reduction targets for the built environment (Majcen et al.”
