Their preferences shape the adoption of new electricity supply models, such as local energy markets and aggregator models. Whilst previous studies have explored end-user preferences, most have been conducted in liberalised electricity markets, and research on prosumer-specific preferences remains limited. To address these gaps, this study compares preferences of prosumers and consumers in two contrasting electricity market contexts: the liberalised United Kingdom (UK) and centralised South Korea (Korea). With a total sample of 536 respondents from the UK and 392 from Korea, discrete choice experiments were conducted to examine preferences for: (1) consumers buying electricity; (2) prosumers buying electricity; and (3) prosumers selling electricity. Findings indicate that end-user preferences in the UK and Korea differ, reflecting their distinct market structures. Korean end-users strongly prefer national and local governments as electricity generators or providers, whilst UK end-users favour non-profit organisations over private companies. Price emerged as the most important factor for buying and selling electricity, especially in the UK. Interestingly, when selling electricity, Korean prosumers preferred lower prices, suggesting avenues for further research into altruistic or collective motivations. Location factors, such as locally generated electricity, had minimal importance in both countries. Moreover, compared to the fixed-price option, end-users in both countries have yet to embrace alternative attributes, such as direct load control and peer-to-peer trading. Our study highlights the importance of socio-technical contexts in understanding end-user preferences for shaping energy transition policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104072"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study constructs a regional, multi-sector optimization model to explore the economic effects of alternatives for reusing treated municipal wastewater (TMW) in drylands. Focusing on the Middle Rio Grande Basin in the southwestern state of New Mexico, USA, this investigation innovatively considers agriculture as a nutrient sink. The analysis develops a theoretical optimization model for TMW reuse across three sectors simultaneously: agricultural (commercial farming); urban (greenspace provision); and environmental (river instream flow provision). A constrained optimization is used to calculate the value of water in the commercial crop farming sector, and the benefit transfer approach is used to obtain water values in the urban and environmental sectors. Results indicate that water is valued roughly comparably in urban greenspace ($205.26 per acre-foot) and environmental ($220.39 per acre-foot) sectors, and while agriculture acts as a nutrient sink it still realizes a much lower water value ($28.30 per acre-foot). Therefore, it is recommended that policymakers and the municipal authority prioritize the allocation of TMW for environmental flow and urban greenspace. Understanding water's economic value across alternative uses is crucial information for water policy and governance in water-scarce regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23554,"journal":{"name":"Utilities Policy","volume":"95 ","pages":"Article 101941"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introducing changes to the public realm in neighbourhoods can be a sensitive issue, with residents pushing back on installations that they feel are unneeded or are a bad fit for the streetscape. To avoid such circumstances, an understanding of resident reaction to infrastructure installation would be useful when developing consultation strategies. This paper provides insights into this issue by examining public acceptability towards the deployment of Electric Vehicle chargepoints in residential settings. A psychometric approach is taken through the specification of a Structural Equation Model which explains acceptability to infrastructure by a multi-layered set of antecedent constructs. Results of the analysis indicate that perceptions of trust in the industry responsible for the chargepoints as well as awareness of environmental sustainability problems underpin public acceptability. In addition, reinforcing the positive issues surrounding the infrastructure in terms of the benefits that will materialise, the effectiveness of Electric Vehicle adoption at alleviating climate change, and the positive emotions associated with chargepoint availability are likely to boost acceptability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 105961"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The shadow economy serves an important function in a market economy by supplying goods and services that meet the social demands of society.

Employing cross-country panel data for 124 countries from 1991 to 2017 and two-way fixed effects instrumental variables estimation, the results show that advancements in social progress reduce the size of the underground sector. In terms of magnitude, the influence of social progress is nontrivial: a 1 percent increase in social progress reduces the shadow economy by about 2 percent. Moreover, considering the distinct dimensions of social performance, the findings reveal that improvements in basic human needs and opportunity aspects of social progress have the most robust effect in reducing the shadow economy.

This study examines how different approaches to initializing consumer agents in electricity market simulations impact sustainability outcomes. We compare three strategies: (1) aggregate public data distributions, (2) aggregate survey data distributions, and (3) individual-level survey data from 839 respondents. Using New Jersey’s electricity market as a case study, we simulate household decisions on solar investments, clean-energy participation, and consumption over 40 years (2010–2050) with an agent-based model, running 500 Monte Carlo simulations per approach, validated against 2010–2020 historical data. Results reveal important trade-offs between modeling approaches. Aggregate public data models most accurately track historical consumption and energy burden, while survey-based models, particularly individual-level, predict higher renewable adoption and program participation rates. The individual survey methodology captures greater behavioral heterogeneity and socioeconomic disparities, revealing potential energy justice concerns that remain hidden in aggregate models. Despite these differences, all approaches maintain comparable accuracy in predicting system-level metrics like total electricity consumption. These findings demonstrate that modeling outcomes are very sensitive to initialization highlighting the importance of aligning model design with the intended research question and available data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104071"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
