Enhanced understanding of energy ratepayers: Factors influencing perceptions of government energy efficiency subsidies and utility alternative energy use
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of gain-and loss-framed messages on consumers' perceptions of government subsidies for utility provided energy efficiency (EE) programs and for utility providers' use of more clean/alternative energy sources was investigated.

How do corruption and energy efficiency affect the carbon emission performance of China's industrial sectors?
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors applied the System Generalized Method of Moments (SYS-GMM) to explore the impacts of corruption and energy efficiency on industrial carbon emissions, and they found that under current economic development status, the effects of corruptions and energy efficiencies on carbon emissions are divergent; i.e., corruption can enhance carbon emissions whereas energy efficiency facilitates carbon emission reduction.

Time-saving innovations and their impact on energy use: some lessons from a household-production-function approach
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of time-saving technological progress on time use as well as on energy use for non-productive activities has been highlighted, and it is shown that if the feedback is strong, households may not save any time at all although they constantly invest in time saving devices.

Technology, Prices, and the Derived Demand for Energy
Ernst R. Berndt,David O. Wood +1 more

Economic Implications of Mandated Efficiency in Standards for Household Appliances
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the indiscriminate use of mandated standards will backfire, but a mix of selective standards and reliance on prices as a restraint can be effective.
