the consumer s energy analysis environment
Energy Policy, 1994Co-Authors: Willett Kempton, Linda L LayneAbstract:Abstract This article describes how residential energy consumers measure and analyze their own energy consumption and energy costs. Using in-depth interviews, we find more extensive data collection and analysis by residential energy consumers than has been previously documented in the energy literature. However, the conclusions consumers can draw from their analytical efforts are restricted by the form in which they receive price and consumption data and their limited analytic capabilities. The relative information processing strengths of consumers are compared with those of institutions such as energy utilities, leading to the conclusion that many of the analytic tasks are currently assigned to the less efficient parties, degrading decision quality and creating a Market Barrier to energy conservation. We suggest a more efficient allocation of data collection and analysis between the consumer and energy utility.

restructuring transport sector towards sustainability infrastructure and Market prospects of alternative fuels in eu transportation
Decision Support Systems, 2015Co-Authors: Pelopidas Siskos, Pantelis CaprosAbstract:The penetration of alternative fuels in transport is widely acknowledged to be essential towards a sustainable low carbon future of transport system. The main Market Barrier for alternative fuels is the lack of the associated infrastructure development. This paper presents the involved decision makers related to the Market of alternative fuels and depicts the importance of their coordination through public intervention, regulations and incentives. The focus of this paper is on the key Market and economic factors related to the uptake of biofuels, electricity and hydrogen infrastructure in Europe. Identifying the decision makers and understanding their relationship is a key factor for enabling policy-makers to eventually design targeted strategies towards the envisaged sustainable development of transport sector.

betrayal as Market Barrier identity based limits to diversification among high status corporate law firms1
American Journal of Sociology, 2013Co-Authors: Damon J Phillips, Catherine J Turco, Ezra W ZuckermanAbstract:Why are some diversified Market identities problematic but others are not? We examine this question in the context of high-status corporate law firms, which often diversify into one low-status area of work—family law (FL)—but face a Barrier (strong disapproval from existing clients) that prevents diversification into another such area—plaintiffs’ personal injury law (PIL). Drawing on a qualitative study of the Boston legal Market, we argue that this Barrier reflects a situation where loyalty norms have been violated, and it surfaces because service to individual plaintiffs is tantamount to betraying the interests of corporate clients. Our analysis clarifies identity-based limits to diversification, indicating that they are rooted in concerns about the firm’s commitments as well as its capabilities, and suggests a more general refinement of theory on status and conformity.
