The Effect of Energy Efficiency relabeling on Purchase Decisions - Quasi-experimental evidence from the EU 1: KU Leuven, Belgium; 2: Ghent University, Belgium; 3: University of Hamburg, Germany We assess the impact of the recent relabeling of the EU energy label from A-plus categories to a clear letter scale (A-G) on consumer purchase decisions of energy-related household appliances. Using granular purchase data in the refrigerator and freezer market, we find that purchase shares of relabeled models in the least efficient label classes decrease after relabeling, suggesting that consumers switch from lower to higher efficient categories when confronted with the new energy label. We find evidence that this decrease is due to the combined effect of a clear letter scale and a reduction in the coarseness of label classes, i.e. the splitting of the medium A++ label into E and F classes. | |
