The Diffusion of Energy Efficiency in Building
研究了美国48个大都市区过去15年能效认证建筑的扩散模式，分析行业构成、经济条件、商业地产市场和人力资本如何影响能效技术的空间分布与传播速度，对制定建筑节能政策有参考价值。
We analyze the diffusion of buildings certified for energy efficiency across US property markets. Using a panel of 48 metropolitan areas (MSAs) observed over the last 15 years, we model the geographic patterns and dynamics of building certification, relating industry composition, changes in economic conditions, characteristics of the local commercial property market, and the presence of human capital, to the cross-sectional variation in energy-efficient building technologies and the diffusion of those technologies over time. Understanding the determinants and the rate at which energy-efficient building practices diffuse is important for designing policies to affect resource consumption in the built environment.
