摘要

在租赁住房中，租户负责自己的能源账单，而房东负责住宅的能源性能，这可能对能效投资构成特别的挑战。在本文中，我们通过比较德国住房市场上为自己使用而购买的住房和出租的住房来描述这种分裂激励问题的严重性，在德国住房市场上，租房者的比例特别高，而且大多数出租的公寓都是由私人拥有的。利用2019年至2021年德国最大的在线住房市场平台的能源绩效得分数据，我们发现，不同租住类型的公寓之间的能源效率水平在经济上的平均差异很小。尽管存在异质效应，也跨经纪人类型，总的来说，我们的研究结果表明，德国多公寓建筑部门可能没有关键的能源效率赤字。

Split-incentives in energy efficiency investments? Evidence from rental housing

Rental housing, where tenants are responsible for their own energy bills but landlords are responsible for the dwelling’s energy performance, may pose a particular challenge for investments in energy efficiency. In this paper, we describe the severity of this split-incentive problem by comparing homes purchased for own use with those rented out on the German housing market, where the share of renters is particularly high and the majority of rented apartments is owned by private individuals. Using data on energy performance scores from Germany’s largest online housing market platform between 2019 and 2021, we find on average economically small differences in the energy efficiency levels between apartments that differ by tenure type. Even though there are heterogeneous effects, also across broker types, by and large, our findings suggest that there may not be a critical energy efficiency deficit in the German multi apartment building sector.

期刊介绍： Resource and Energy Economics provides a forum for high level economic analysis of utilization and development of the earth natural resources. The subject matter encompasses questions of optimal production and consumption affecting energy, minerals, land, air and water, and includes analysis of firm and industry behavior, environmental issues and public policies. Implications for both developed and developing countries are of concern. The journal publishes high quality papers for an international audience. Innovative energy, resource and environmental analyses, including theoretical models and empirical studies are appropriate for publication in Resource and Energy Economics.
