iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I imagine so, but if your abstract is longer due to reference list I don't think is a big deal.

I use primarily my institutional repository, personal website and sometimes SSRN. I tried ArXiv, but even with a complete latex file it's way too much work.

La tassa europea sulle emissioni delle navi rischia di far chiudere il porto di Gioia Tauro: potrebbe creare un vantaggio competitivo per i porti del Nordafrica a danno di quelli italiani, in particolare quello calabrese

"54% of voters rejected a decree approved by the Valais parliament designed to support federal “Solar Express” legislation to simplify and speed up the construction of large Alpine solar parks."

No vote for Alpine solar parks: what does it mean for Switzerland?

Voters in canton Valais have rejected the rapid expansion of solar parks on their sunny mountain peaks and pastures. What are the implications?

Of course awareness does not always play a major role. It depends on the context: our vehicle circulation taxes are applied automatically and after the purchase (=low salience). We hope our work sheds light on one important barrier to the effectiveness of public programs! 8/8

Just putting in place incentive programs is not enough then, one need to make citizens aware of them! How can we raise awareness? We show it is possible with a simple and inexpensive information treatment (email). 7/8

What we conclude then? Ignoring policy awareness, we could wrongly infer that that these vehicle tax discounts are ineffective by design. On the contrary, in our case policy aware consumers DO respond to the incentives, but majority of consumers are not aware of them. 6/8

Last, we calculate the LATE of policy awareness using the email treatment as instrument. People who become aware of the incentives through our email purchase more efficient vehicles (-31% fuel cons.) 5/8

We then run a RCT, sending to half sample an email with info on the presence of a vehicle tax discount in their canton. Recepients of the email: *Are more aware about incentives (+14 prc pts) *Buy cars with lower fuel cons. (-10%) 4/8

How does this impact fuel consumption (l/100 km) of purchased vehicles? We first run a DiD, comparing aware vs unaware, cantons w/ and w/out Bonus/Malus. Overall policy effect is almost zero, but aware individuals buy cars w/ -14% fuel consumption. 3/8

In Switzerland many cantons have vehicle circulation tax discounts ("Bonus/Malus") for energy efficient cars. We run a survey to see how many people are aware of these incentives. The answer is surprisingly low: only 42% of our sample! 2/8
