The energy transition: An assessment of drivers and barriers
(2023)
Embedded in an introductory and a concluding chapter, the thesis comprises six distinct but related scientific articles. All articles contribute to a more holistic understanding of drivers and barriers of a successful energy transition. In the first part of the thesis, four articles address energy and economic efficiency in the electricity sector. These articles provide guidance for efficient regulatory policies and analyse measures seeking to increase preferences for dynamic electricity tariffs. The two articles in ...

Towards a Better Understanding of Entrepreneurial Teams: Investigating Temporal Dynamics on Multiple Levels
(2023)
This dissertation investigates entrepreneurial teams in the process of creating new ventures. The new venture creation process is complex. Different actors impact the new venture creation process in various ways, either facilitating or complicating it.

Experimental analyses of individual sustainable choices
(2023)
This dissertation complements the aforementioned studies by considering choice and allocation experiments which allow to directly examine how individuals choose between sustainable prod-ucts and their conventional counterparts. It particularly examines how different experimental designs and interventions causally affect choices between sustainable electricity contracts and investments over their conventional counterparts and provides guidance on how to analyze these choices using a Monte Carlo experiment.
