No-regret Potentials in Energy Conservation : an Analysis of Their Relevance, Size and Determinants /
The climate change debate has stimulated a controversy on the existence and size of potentials to reduce energy consumption at an economic benefit, so-called no-regret potentials. This book develops a theoretical evaluation framework with particular focus on transaction costs and real option theory....
