Energy Efficiency, Taxonomic Overview

چکیده
p. 396, col. 2, full para. 2 ("Perhaps..."): The vehicle efficiency stated is from a simulation of on-road performance, obtained by multiplying each vector in the standard EPA test cycles by 1.3. The equivalent EPA adjusted efficiency (the kind used for official efficiency ratings and shown on the window stickers of market vehicles) is 2.06 L-equivalent per 100 km, 48.5 km/L-equivalent, or 114 miles per U.S. gallon-equivalent. Resimulation in 2004 with a gasoline hybrid-electric powertrain as efficient as that of the 2004 Toyota Prius, and conservatively adjusted to all-wheel-drive operation like the fuel-cell version, yields simulated EPA adjusted efficiency of 3.56 L/100 km, 28.1 km/L, or 66 miles per U.S. gallon.

متن کاملPaternalism and Energy Efficiency: An Overview
This review paper provides an overview of the application of behavioral public economics to energy efficiency. I document policymakers’ arguments for “paternalistic” energy efficiency policies, formalize with a simple model of misoptimizing consumers, review and critique empirical evidence, and suggest future research directions. While empirical results suggest that policies to address imperfec...
