Overview
This research looks at energy-related behaviours, policies, and technologies, examining how information and incentives can support the shift to cleaner, more efficient energy systems. The research furthermore addresses how policies aimed at combatting climate change impact different workers and households, and how these policies can be designed to support efficiency and minimize adverse distributional impacts.
