“…Saunders [16], Sorrell [17] and many others, including Adetutu, Glass and WeymanJones [36], confirm that improved energy efficiency results in a less than proportionate reduction in energy consumption. In fact, research shows that in the aggregate, increased energy efficiency can lead to increased economic growth [37].…”

This paper investigates residential energy consumption in the UK by using a novel and topical approach based on behavioural analysis. A key lesson from recent advances in behavioural economics is that the responses of individuals to both policy incentives and uncertainty may differ from the predictions of classical rational optimising behaviour. By employing a focused case study approach using both quantitative and qualitative response analysis, it considers the motivations of residential householders in the UK to reduce fossil fuel use, with additional perspectives from UK landlords, a global environmental NGO, a senior politician, and two senior stakeholder strategy managers from a large energy company. Our interpretative behavioural analysis shows that a variety of incentives are necessary to encourage behaviour change. However, case study participants largely agree on the beneficial role of government regulation and efforts to "nudge" them in the right direction with regard to their energy use. As a means of more effectively reducing carbon dioxide emissions, we conclude that policy should focus on sustainable energy use. The findings allow us to understand why important recent policy initiatives such as the UK Green Deal failed to achieve their objectives and they suggest lessons for more effective incentive based policy making in the field of residential energy consumption.

“…We could then examine the impacts on CO 2 emissions rather than relying on the income and its threshold as captured by α 1 and α 2 in equation 9. This study adopts Tajudeen et al procedure by replacing E t in equation 9with the drivers such as energy efficiency and structural shift (Adetutu et al, 2016) to arrive at a multivariate model as:…”

Given the upward trend of OPEC energy intensity, policymakers need a good understanding of the underlying factors and the environmental impacts when considering future energy policies. An index decomposition analysis is used to decompose OPEC energy intensity covering 1971-2017. The link between the decomposed energy indices and CO 2 emissions is examined using structural time series and least square dummy variable corrected models. Both models also estimate the underlying carbon emission trend (UCET) which arguably reflects the impact of non-economic factors. For OPEC as a group, increases in energy intensity are linked to both energy inefficiency and structural shifts towards energy-intensive activities. About 62 per cent of the increases are attributed to the former, and the remaining 38 per cent is due to the later. The country-level results also show major contributions from both components to energy intensity. The econometric results show that shifts towards energy-intensive activities and, notably, deteriorating energy efficiency generally go in tandem with substantial increases in CO 2 emissions. The estimated UCET is upward sloping indicating carbon-emitting behaviour, taste and lifestyle. Therefore, policies aimed at conserving energy and limiting the concentration of energy-intensive activities in the oilexporting countries should be considered alongside other policies that attempt to influence behaviours and lifestyles.

“…This paper also expands the concept of efficiency to include allocative efficiency via introducing energy prices in an ad-hoc energy demand equation as in Hunt 2011, Filippini andHunt 2012) and (Lundgren, Marklund et al 2016). In addition, (Adetutu, Glass et al 2016) apply SFA to OECD level data to estimate rebound effects. (Aranda-Usón, Ferreira et al 2012) and (Feijoó, Franco et al 2002) apply SFA to energy use in the Spanish manufacturing sector.…”
