Energy efficiency-enhancing policies and firm performance: Evidence from the paper and glass industries in Italy

Andrea Caragliu

Energy Policy, 2021, vol. 156, issue C

Abstract: This paper presents an empirical analysis of the impact of adopting energy efficiency measures, labeled “White Certificates”, on the economic performance of companies active in the paper and glass sector in Italy. White Certificates, launched in 2005, represent the longest-lasting and effective policy tool to stimulate energy efficiency, in particular for the manufacturing industry.
