This article presents a critical assessment of 40 years research that may be brought under the umbrella energy efficiency, spanning different aggregations and domains—from individual producing consuming agents to economy-wide effects role innovation influence policy. After research, efficiency initiatives are generally perceived as highly effective. Innovation has contributed lowering technology costs increasing productivity. Energy programs in many cases have reduced use per unit economic...
Abstract This paper analyzes the impact of broadband infrastructure, along with a range other local characteristics such as motorways and availability human capital, access to third‐level educational facilities, on location new business establishments. The sample period spans introduction recent history in Ireland. results indicate that infrastructure is significant determinant, but its effects may be mediated by presence sufficiently high capital an area.
This research examines some of the multiple benefits a home energy efficiency upgrade programme for social housing tenants. Employing quasi-experimental approach, we examine range objectively measured and self-reported outcomes, including metered gas consumption, control group, before after upgrade. We drew our sample from large in Ireland, The SEAI Better Energy Communities Scheme, which provides funding whole communities to their dwellings. Dwellings were selected based on need, allowing...
In the context of moving to a low-carbon economy there is wide interest among policymakers improve knowledge decisions surrounding residential heating systems. This research examines four aspects decision-making with respect system upgrades: home-owner on whether upgrade, fuel choice, switching patterns, and an examination reasons why home-owners make these decisions. Among key findings are that proximity energy infrastructure, e.g. gas network, important determinant systems upgrades,...
This article examines the effects of corporate tax on these location decisions newly established multinational subsidiaries across 26 European countries over an 8-year period. We contribute to existing literature by examining a non-linear response firm changes in rate. also show that there are large variations sensitivity rates sectors and size groups. In particular, financial sector firms more than twice as sensitive corporation relative other sectors. Our baseline result is finding 1%...
To facilitate the sustainable energy transition, governments and innovators are encouraging households to adopt smart technologies that allow for increased flexibility in grids. At time of undertaking this research 2020, UK's ambitious metering policy had indisputably failed achieve its objective equipping all dwellings with meters. This uses a novel experiment elicit willingness accept 2,430 nationally representative UK meter installation. Randomized information treatments assessment impact...
The distributional impact of the low-carbon transition is an increasingly important topic both for academics and policymakers. Quantifying where costs benefits fall can provide greater insight into equity cost-effectiveness government policies, improve our understanding household investment decisions. This paper provides new evidence on distribution returns from energy efficiency measures over time across household-type. A range econometric techniques are applied to a database four million...
In order to better understand the potential for both policy and technological improvements aid carbon abatement, long-term historical information on time-path of transition from more traditional cleaner fuels is useful. This a relatively understudied element fuel switching literature in developed emerging economies. research adds this by examining adoption network gas as heating fuel. We merge unique dataset roll-out over time, with other geo-coded data employ an instrumental variables...
