Mind the Gap: Quantifying Principal-Agent Problems in Energy Efficiency
Description:
Mind the Gap is an unprecedented attempt to quantify the size of one of the most pervasive barriers to energy efficiency principal-agent problems, or in common parlance, variations on the landlord-tenant problem. In doing so, the book provides energy analysts and economists with unique insights into the amount of energy affected by principal-agent problems. Using an innovative methodology applied to eight case studies (covering commercial and residential sectors, and end-use appliances) from five different IEA countries, the analysis identifies over 3 800 PJ/year of affected energy use that is, around 85% of the annual energy use of a country the size of Spain. The book builds on these findings to suggest a range of possible policy solutions that can reduce the impact of principal-agent problems and help policy makers mind the energy efficiency gap.Table of Content : Foreword Acknowledgements Executive Summary Introduction THEORY 1.Market Barriers to Energy Efficiency Improvements: Locating Principal Agent Problems within the Broader Context 2.
