My Home is Rather Average: (Mis-)perceived Energy Performance and Climate Policy Preferences PIK, Germany This paper employs a survey-based randomized experiment to examine how German homeowners perceive the energy performance of their homes and how this relates to their attitudes toward different climate policies as well as intentions to retrofit. We find that homeowners hold systematic and consequential biases regarding the relative energy performance of their dwellings. Homeowners with less efficient properties tend to overestimate their relative energy performance, while those with more efficient homes often underestimate their performance. Learning that a home’s energy performance is worse than expected significantly reduces support for a proposed performance regulation but not for carbon pricing. It also results in intentions to install new heating equipment. When we vary the precise scope of the regulation, we observe that homeowners reduce their policy support in response to perceived coverage. | |
