Comparing urban coastal flood risk in 136 cities under two alternative sea-level projections: RCP 8.5 and an expert opinion-based high-end scenario
Abadie, Luis María; Jackson, L.P.; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Jevrejeva, S.; Galarraga, I. (Elsevier, 2020)The high degree of uncertainty associated with the extent of future sea-level rise stems primarily from the potential mass loss of the Greenland and Antarctica ice-sheets. We explore the impact of this uncertainty on ... -
Consumer purchases of energy-efficient cars: How different labelling schemes could affect consumer response to price changes
Galarraga, I.; Kallbekken, S.; Silvestri, A. (Energy Policy, 2020)Improved energy efficiency can help reduce pollution, contribute to energy security, and help consumers save money. This paper explores energy labelling schemes as a policy instrument for promoting energy-efficient cars ... -
Consumers’ preferences regarding energy efficiency: a qualitative analysis based on the household and services sectors in Spain
de Ayala, A.; Foudi, S.; Solà, M.d.M; López-Bernabé, E.; Galarraga, I. (Energy Efficiency, 2021)Informational failures frequently lead consumers to make non-optimal energy-efficient purchasing decisions. Energy efficiency labels seek to influence consumer behaviour at the point of sale by reducing informational ... -

Markanday, A.; Galarraga, I.; Chiabai, A.; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Lliso, B. (Elsevier, 2019)One of the most pressing issues when making decisions over long-term environmental problems is deciding on an appropriate discount rate. This can be a highly technical discussion. While some argue in favour of market rates, ... -
Effectiveness of monetary information in promoting the purchase of energy-efficient appliances: Evidence from a field experiment in Spain
Solà, M.d.M; Escapa, M.; Galarraga, I. (Energy Research and Social Science, 2023)The effectiveness of energy labels is crucial in nudging the adoption of energy-efficient products. Here we analyse how providing monetary information on the cost of energy affects the purchases of energy-efficient appliances. ... -
