英文摘要:
Studies report that firms do not invest in cost-effective green technologies. While economic barriers can explain parts of the gap, behavioural aspects cause further under-valuation. This could be partly due to systematic deviations of decision-making agents\' perceptions from normative benchmarks, and partly due to their diversity. This paper combines available behavioural knowledge into a simple model of technology adoption. Firms are modelled as heterogeneous agents with different behavioural responses. To quantify the gap, the model simulates their investment decisions from different theoretical perspectives. While relevant parameters are uncertain at the micro-level, using distributed agent perspectives provides a realistic representation of the macro adoption rate. The model is calibrated using audit data for proposed investments in energy efficient electric motors. The inclusion of behavioural factors reduces significantly expected adoption rates: from 81% using a normative optimisation perspective, down to 20% using a behavioural perspective. The effectiveness of various policies is tested.

中文摘要:
研究报告称,企业不投资成本效益高的绿色技术。虽然经济障碍可以解释部分差距,但行为方面会导致估值进一步偏低。这可能部分是因为决策者的认知与规范性基准之间存在系统性偏差,部分是因为他们的多样性。本文将现有的行为知识结合到一个简单的技术采用模型中。企业被建模为具有不同行为反应的异质代理人。为了量化差距,该模型从不同的理论角度模拟了他们的投资决策。虽然相关参数在微观层面上是不确定的,但使用分布式代理透视图可以真实地表示宏观采用率。该模型通过使用节能电机拟议投资的审计数据进行校准。纳入行为因素显著降低了预期采用率:从规范优化角度来看,预期采用率为81%,从行为角度来看,预期采用率为20%。对各种政策的有效性进行了测试。
