Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

The Influence Of Energy Subsidies On Household Energy Use ifo Institute, Munich, Germany How can the green transition reduce residential energy consumption while addressing equity concerns? This paper examines how energy-related subsidies within Germany’s basic security system affect household energy consumption, expenditures, and services. We develop a theoretical framework to study the incentives of lump-sum transfers and full cost-coverage subsidies, accounting for energy efficiency and prices. We empirically test its implications using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel and the Energy Saving Check. We exploit two transfer reforms and the energy price crisis with (triple) DiD strategies. We find that subsidy recipients exhibit higher energy consumption and expenditures than comparable households, yet do not enjoy better energy services, measured by indicators such as adequate warmth. Mechanism analysis shows that these households face higher electricity prices and lower energy efficiency. These findings suggest that improving energy efficiency is key to achieving climate objectives while alleviating energy poverty through enhanced energy services without raising consumption.
