Essays in energy and environmental economics
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation explores topics in energy and environmental economics, and in particular regulations intended to address market failures in the purchase and utilization of energy-consuming durable goods. The market failures in question include environmental externalities as well as information frictions in durable goods purchase. The durable goods studied range from household appliances to homes themselves. Although market-based approaches to these challenges are becoming more common, subsidies and standards are still much more widely practiced public policy tools. Given the pervasiveness of the regulatory approach over the market-based approach, evaluating the success of these energy-consuming durable goods subsidies and standards allows policy makers to use society's scarce resources where they are most effective.
