Voluntary Energy Program and Environmental-Economic Performance: Evidence from Manufacturing Sector in Canada, with Nicholas Rivers
ABSTRACT. How do firms in the manufacturing sector respond to voluntary energy conservation program? Using data covering the universe of manufacturing firms in Canada over the period 2004 to 2012, we estimate the effectiveness of the Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation, the flagship federal government energy conservation program targeted at large industrial firms. We use a difference-in-difference approach, coupled with coarsened exact matching, to estimate the effect of this program on firms’ energy intensity, total productivity, as well as total energy and total output. Our estimation results suggest that the program does not significantly affect the energy intensity of participating firms compared to non-participating firms.
