Economics of energy efficiency in the residential and transport sectors in Spain

P. Linares

January 2014 - December 2017

Funding entity Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad

Participated by Universidad de Vigo


The project is divided into four lines of work, that are related but relatively independent, in whose development "interested entities" that participate in this project will be essential. The first deals with the demand for electricity and the importance of information to introduce EE measures, through the use of field experiments. A second line deals with the effectiveness of EE certificates of housing, with a hedonic approach and/or with the use of choice experiments. The third line refers to the calculation of the price elasticity of demand for energy-efficient vehicles in Spain. Finally, the project will incorporate distributional analyses, as energy poverty has become an important issue that is obviously related to energy demand and policies to promote EE.
