  • Paper published in Journal of Cleaner Production. This paper investigates public acceptance on peak and off-peak pricing in China. We investigate what are drivers and barriers for their acceptance. 
  • Full Reference:Yang, Y., Wang, M., Liu, Y., & Zhang, L. (2018). Peak-off-peak load shifting: Are public willing to accept the peak and off-peak time of use electricity price?doi:10.1016/j.jclepro.2018.06.181
 
  • Paper published in Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments. Replacing all oil boilers with renewable energy technologies by 2035 is part of the national energy strategy 2050 in Denmark.This study investigates the drivers for decision makers when adopting different renewable heating technologies. Full reference:Yang, Y., Ren., J., Solgaard, H., Xu, D. & Nguyen, T. (2018) Using multi‐criteria analysis to prioritize renewable energy home heating technologies. Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments, 29, 36-43. doi:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seta.2018.06.005
 
  • Paper published in Energy Research & Social Science. This paper  investigates how framing affect consumers’ willingness to buy green electricity using a contingent valuation method. The results show that consumers displayed stronger intention to buy green electricity when the situation was framed in a positive manner (i.e., most Danish households have already bought it), as compared to the situation framed in a negative manner (i.e., only a few Danish households have bought green electricity).Full Reference: Yang, Y.,Solgaard, H. S., & Ren, J. (2018). Does positive framing matter?
