DC1 — The empirical effect of electricity price subsidies

Host: Norwegian School of Economics (NHH)
This project examines how electricity price subsidies affect household electricity consumption, labour supply, savings, and wealth accumulation in Norway, with a focus on equity and prosumer behaviour.

DC3 — Survey-based evidence on households’ willingness to provide energy flexibility through demand response (DR)

Host: Wrocław University of Science and Technology (PWR)
This project studies drivers and barriers to household participation in demand response, evaluating incentive schemes through surveys and behavioural modelling.
Secondments: Academic: Vilnius University (VU) · Non-academic: STORIE

DC4 — Energy-related Household Inequality (EHI) and energy poverty

Host: University of Helsinki (UH)
This project analyses how electricity price changes affect energy demand, energy poverty and broader household behaviour using Finnish data.
Secondments: Academic: Vilnius University (VU) · Non-academic: Energiavirasto (Finnish Energy Authority)

DC5 — High-frequency analysis of electricity prices and risk management in volatile energy markets

Host: Leibniz University Hannover (LUH)

DC7 — Market design, market efficiency and inequality

Host: UCLouvain
This project evaluates electricity market design options from a household perspective, focusing on tariffs, contracts and flexibility incentives.
Secondments: Academic: University of Copenhagen (UCPH) · Non-academic: Elia Group

DC8 — Optimal policy instrument choice, durable assets, and inequality

Host: UCLouvain
This project analyses the trade-offs between income support and energy price policies when households face constraints in investing in durable assets.
Secondments: Academic: Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) · Non-academic: Belgian Federal Planning Bureau (PlanBe)

DC9 — Smart contracts for household demand response (DR)

Host: Vilnius University (VU)
This project designs and tests smart contracts for household demand response using economic modelling and laboratory experiments.
Secondments: Academic: UCLouvain · Non-academic: ESO

DC10 — Determinants of household demand response (DR)

Host: Vilnius University (VU)
This project investigates behavioural and social factors influencing household participation in demand response across multiple European countries.
Secondments: Academic: Wrocław University of Science and Technology (PWR) · Non-academic: ESO

DC11 — Prosumers in competitive energy markets

Host: Stockholm University (SU)
This project develops economic models to analyse how prosumers and electrification affect competition in energy markets.

DC12 — Optimisation of household demand response (DR)

Host: University of Copenhagen (UCPH)
This project develops dynamic optimisation models to assess household demand response under different tariff structures.
Secondments: Academic: Stockholm University (SU) · Non-academic: Energinet

DC13 — Household wealth optimisation and the impact of energy costs

Host: University of Copenhagen (UCPH)
This project studies how energy costs and subsidies affect household wealth, savings and risk exposure using stochastic control models.
Secondments: Academic: Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) · Non-academic: ENS

DC14 — Energy-related Household Inequality (EHI) and welfare analysis

Host: University of Bern (UBERN)
