DESCRIPTION:<img class="size-full wp-image-30650 alignright" src="http://www.lse.ac.uk/GranthamInstitute/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/massimo.person_image.jpeg" alt="" width="128" height="170" />There is evidence that many individuals make suboptimal investment decisions when the benefits and costs associated with that decision are distributed over time.  One example is the decision to adopt new electrical appliances\, with the benefits of choosing a more energy efficient device materializing only in the future.

Prof. Filippini will provide a lecture describing the energy efficiency gap\, energy literacy\, financial literacy\, bounded rationality and how these concepts are related.  Following this he will describe two randomised-controlled trials which test the impact of decision support tools aiming to encourage the adoption of energy efficient appliances.  Public policy implications of the results will then be discussed.

This lecture is part of a two day event focusing on energy efficiency taking place at the Grantham Research Institute\, LSE on Thursday 31<sup>st</sup> May and Friday 1<sup>st</sup> June.
