EIB Working Papers 2019/06 - Promoting energy audits : Results from an experiment (Volume 2019/6)

Abstract

Energy audits are key to increase investments in energy efficiency This paper assesses the effectiveness of policy interventions in promoting energy audits by relying on evidence from a unique experiment. The findings of the experiment allow us to quantify by how much the probability that firms invest in energy audits increases, as the policy mix changes.
