Precourt Institute for Energy Efficiency awards Matthew Harding and co-author a major grant.

Matthew Harding and his co-author David Rapson of the University of California, Davis were awarded a major grant by the Precourt Institute for Energy Efficiency. Their project will examine how people make decisions about appliance purchases and the effect that these choices have on energy demand. It will use the latest econometric techniques to model this complex dynamic decision and provide policymakers with insights into the benefits of various market interventions.
