Using a panel of household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2005, this study assesses the effectiveness fuel efficiency improvements by estimating rebound effect, which measures extent to higher causes additional travel. Following theoretical discussion outlining three alternative definitions econometric analysis generates corresponding estimates using methods control for effects unobservables that could otherwise produce spurious results. Our results, range 57% 67%,...
Abstract: A lingering question in economic geography is the degree to which there a link between neoliberal policies and environmental degradation. Research needed relate such empirically local‐level decision making, both evaluate their consequences contribute an understanding of how cross‐scalar dynamics drive processes land‐use change. This study examines impacts Mexican rural support program, referred by its Spanish acronym, PROCAMPO, was introduced 1994 as part comprehensive agenda...
Understanding the determinants of home-efficiency improvements is significant to a range energy policy issues, including reduction fossil fuel use and environmental protection. This paper analyzes retrofit choices by assembling unique data set merging nationwide household survey from Germany with regional on wages construction costs. To explore influence both heterogeneous preferences correlation among utility alternatives, we estimate conditional-, random parameters-, error components logit...
Rebound effects measure the behaviorally induced offset in reduction of energy consumption following efficiency improvements. Using panel estimation methods and household travel diary data collected Germany between 1997 2009, this study identifies rebound effect private transport by allowing for possibility that fuel price elasticities—from which can be derived—are asymmetric. This approach rests on empirical evidence suggesting response individual demand to increases is stronger than...
The rebound effect – or offset in energy savings that occurs when an individual increases consumption of a good service following increase its efficiency has both economic and psychological underpinnings. In addition to the price, income substitution effects emphasized by economists, psychologists point influence moral licensing, cognitive process which individuals justify immoral behavior (e.g. driving more) having previously engaged purchasing more efficient car). present paper provides...
Consumer subsidies are commonly employed to incentivize the purchase of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), but free-ridership potentially undermines their effectiveness. The present study investigates BEV in Germany, distinguishing effect between company- and private cars. Drawing on a panel high-resolution car registration data, we use estimates from Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood model predict registrations absence subsidy. We calculate aggregate free-rider rates 56.5% for cars 87.1%...
Abstract We estimate a spatially explicit model of the forest clearance process among smallholder farmers in an agricultural frontier southern Mexico. Our analysis takes as its point departure simple utility‐maximising that suggests many possible determinants deforestation economic environment characterised by missing or thin markets. Hypotheses from are tested on data set combines time series satellite imagery with collected survey farm households whose plots were geo‐referenced using...
ABSTRACT This paper presents evidence that the accumulating cost of Germany’s ambitious plan to transform its system energy provision—the so-called Energiewende— is butting up against consumers’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for it. Following a descriptive presentation traces German promotion renewable technologies since 2000, we draw on two stated-preference surveys conducted in 2013 and 2015 elicit households’ WTP green electricity. Two models are estimated, one based closed-ended question...
Politicians around the world are looking for ways to reduce negative externalities of transport sector. Subsidization public is a popular remedy, but evidence on associated causal effects remains scant. Based randomized controlled trial that tracks mobility behavior continuously via mobile app, this study provides how individuals modify their patterns when provided with temporary cost-free access transport. We further explore whether such induces enduring shifts in after reinstatement...
With a focus on individual motorists in car-owning households Germany, this analysis econometrically investigates the determinants of automobile travel for nonwork service activities against backdrop two questions: (a) Does gender play role determining probability car use and distance driven? (b) If so, how is mitigated or exacerbated by other socioeconomic attributes household which he she resides? Drawing panel data collected between 1996 2003, Heckman's sample selection model specified to...
