assets to the deployment of fossil-free end-use solutions. We focus on key technologies such as solar photovoltaics, battery storage systems, electric mobility, and electric space and water heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We examine how adoption decisions are shaped by factors including profitability, household income, political ideology, and government intervention programs. By analyzing these determinants, we provide insights that help evaluate policy scenarios and generate actionable recommendations for firms and policymakers aiming to accelerate the clean energy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our ongoing projects include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Evaluating the <strong>effect of far-right ideology<\/strong> on the diffusion of green technologies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assessing how <strong>simple and complex profitability information<\/strong> shape the solar adoption choices of residential households<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exploring the <strong>potential of e-bike adoption<\/strong> for reducing single-occupancy car trips&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Estimating the <strong>effect of bicycle infrastructure and regulation<\/strong> on the diffusion of micro-mobility solutions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this work, we seek to advance the socio-technical understanding of adoption behaviors and inform evidence-based strategies that drive widespread adoption of green technologies and contribute to a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tdata-tab=\"8319b292-08b2-4bac-97ff-4683eaba802d\"\n\t\t\tdata-tab-part=\"tab-content\"\n\t\t\tdata-tab-index=\"1\"\n\t\t\tid=\"energy-justice\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"bl-hidden is-layout-flow bl-scroll-m-[154px] @md\/tab-block:bl-scroll-m-[118px] first:*:bl-mt-0\"\n\t\t\taria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Energy Justice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Policies designed to accelerate clean technology adoption inevitably have distributional effects, providing targeted benefits to some while shifting costs to the broader public. Understanding how different socio-economic groups respond to these policies is essential for crafting interventions that are both effective and equitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our research examines the distributional impacts of energy policies and explores strategies for enabling a just and inclusive clean energy transition.
