Offsetting and insetting in city net-zero plans
H 3005To contribute to Paris Agreement objectives, non-state actors globally are increasingly developing voluntary emission reduction goals. Cities represent an important group with net-zero or similar plans, but significant variation exists in how they intend to meet these targets. A lack of research exists on the role of carbon offsetting (carbon dioxide removal or avoided emissions […]

Behavioural interventions change transport behavior but have only a limited impact on transport mode split
H 0107Prevalent systems of land transport, centred around automobility, are energy inefficient and involve high economic, health and GHG emissions-related costs. As one class of solutions, demand-side behavioural change interventions (or soft policy interventions) are promoted to reduce car use and shift travellers to low-carbon transport modes. However, the relative effectiveness of such interventions in initiating […]

Encouraging structural changes to private homes to reduce carbon emissions: a systematic review and meta-analysis of (quasi-)experimental evidence
H 0107Reducing emissions from the building sector is one of the key steps in combating climate change, as the building sector is responsible for about 38% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Private households have opportunities to reduce a significant proportion of these emissions by improving the energy efficiency of their buildings, e.g. by refurbishing their insulation […]

Rebound effect in the era of energy transition
H 0107This paper conducts a meta-analysis on rebound effects regarding the energy transition for household end-use services toward renewable energies (including photovoltaic, biomass, green electricity, and heat pumps). The biomass and heat pump potentially lead to the highest size of rebound effect (approximately 33%). In addition, the rebound effect regarding green electricity is about 1–3 % […]

Evidence mapping of behavioral interventions to promote sustainable mobility behavior
H 0107Behavioral interventions are considered promising approaches to promote pro-environmental behavior. Applying these interventions in high-emission sectors such as transportation could help mitigating climate change. While systematic evidence synthesis is important for a variety of stakeholders within and beyond academia, to our knowledge there are few systematic reviews and no systematic map focusing on behavioral interventions […]

More Than Half of Statistically Significant Research Findings in the Environmental Sciences are Actually Not
H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)Researchers have incentives to search for and selectively report findings that appear to be statistically significant and/or conform to prior beliefs. Such selective reporting practices, including p-hacking and publication bias, can lead to a distorted set of results being published, potentially undermining the process of knowledge accumulation and evidence-based decision making. We take stock of […]

Spurious Precision in Meta-Analysis of Observational Research
H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)Meta-analysis upweights studies reporting lower standard errors and hence more precision. But in observational settings, precision is not given to the researcher. Precision must be estimated, and thus can be p-hacked to achieve statistical significance. Simulations and applications show that spurious precision can invalidate inverse-variance weighting and bias-correction methods based on the funnel plot. Selection […]

State vs market: Do sources of energy price changes matter for demand elasticities?
H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)CO2 pricing via taxes or emission trading schemes (ETS) should create incentives for companies and individuals to reduce their carbon footprint. We exploit a large meta-dataset of price elasticities for heating and cooling energy sources. We compare elasticities from both state-led and market-led changes, controlling for study-design characteristics. Our working hypothesis is that taxes and […]

The Price Elasticity of Heating and Cooling Energy Demand: A Meta-Analysis
H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)We follow a registered pre-analysis plan (\href{https://osf.io/zdche}{https://osf.io/zdche}) to create a large meta-dataset from the international literature on price elasticities of energy demand for heating and cooling of households and businesses. The dataset comprises 442 primary studies with more than 4971 price elasticity estimates, their standard errors as well as relevant study and observation characteristics. We […]

Accounting for Sample Overlap in Economics Meta-Analyses: The Generalized-Weights Method in Practice
H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)Meta-analyses in economics frequently exhibit considerable overlap among primary samples. If not addressed, sample overlap leads to efficiency losses and inflated rates of false positives at the meta-analytical level. Bom and Rachinger (2020) propose a generalized-weights approach to handle sample overlap. This approach effectively approximates the correlation structure between primary estimates using information on sample […]
