Indirect Rebound Effects on the Consumer Level: A State-of-the-art Literature Review

19th November 2021
KCG Secretary
Authors: Hanna Reimers, Anke Jacksohn, Dennis Appenfeller, Wassili Lasarov, Alexandra Hüttel, Katrin Rehdanz, Ingo Balderjahn, Stefan Hoffmann (Cleaner and Responsible Consumption, 2021, Vol. 3, Article: 100032)

Indirect rebound effects on the consumer level occur when potential greenhouse gas emission savings from the usage of more efficient technologies or more sufficient consumption in one consumption area are partially or fully offset through the consumers’ adverse behavioral responses in other areas[...]

Drivers of Renewable Technology Adoption in the Household Sector

14th November 2019
KCG Secretary
Authors: Anke Jacksohn, Peter Grösche, Katrin Rehdanz and Carsten Schröder (Energy Economics, 2019, Vol. 81, 216-226)

Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we undertake a simultaneous assessment of the importance of factors that are individually found to be significant for the adoption of renewable energy systems by households but are not yet tested jointly[…]

Do Climate Engineering Experts Display Moral-Hazard Behaviour?

12th November 2019
KCG Secretary
Authors: Christine Merk, Gert Pönitzsch and Katrin Rehdanz (Climate Policy, 2019, Vol. 19(2), 231-243)

Discourse analyses and expert interviews about climate engineering (CE) report high levels of reflectivity about the technologies’ risks and challenges, implying that CE experts are unlikely to display moral hazard behaviour, i.e. a reduced focus on mitigation[…]

Exploring Public Perception of Environmental Technology over Time

12th November 2019
KCG Secretary
Authors: Carola Braun, Christine Merk, Katrin Rehdanz and Ulrich Schmidt (Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 2018, Vol. 61(1), 143-160)

Public opinion has a substantial impact on political actions. However, public opinion might be driven by temporary emotions. If these emotions cool off over time, public opinion might change as well. This paper analyses how emotions drive public opinion over time for the case of an environmental climate engineering technology[…]

Public perception of climate engineering and carbon capture and storage in Germany: survey evidence

12th November 2019
KCG Secretary
Authors: Carola Braun, Christine Merk, Gert Pönitzsch, Katrin Rehdanz and Ulrich Schmidt (Climate Policy, 2018, Vol. 18(4), 471-484)

Climate engineering (CE) and carbon capture and storage are controversial options for addressing climate change. This study compares public perception in Germany of three specific measures: solar radiation management (SRM) via stratospheric sulphate injection[…]
