In the passenger transport sector, strategies to reduce carbon emissions engage politics, practitioners, and scientists worldwide. Inter alia, increasing the use of public transport is a vital part of the current strategies. In the EU, 29% of citizens live in rural areas, and the provision of traditional public transport in these areas is difficult...
Austria aims to meet 100 of its electricity demand from domestic renewable sources by 2030 which means, that an additional 27TWh/a of renewable electricity generation are required, thereof 11TWh/a from photovoltaic. While some federal states and municipalities released a solar rooftop cadastre, there is lacking knowledge on the estimation of the po...
Current mobility trends indicate that the popularity of privately-owned cars will decrease in the near future. One reason for this development is the diffusion of mobility services such as car or bike sharing, or Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) bundles. Especially, MaaS bundles have the potential to respond to environmental issues and provide reliable...
Historically, research on alliance termination assumes that alliance partners only withdraw from alliances in the event of alliance failure (failure-driven alliance termination). However, recent research on the dissolution of alliances shows that firms also withdraw from alliances through alliance partner switch when they find options with higher m...
Although electric vehicle (EV) sales have recently been increasing, EVs can only contribute to mitigating climate change if the power they require is generated from renewable energy sources. Hence, a product bundle of EVs with photovoltaic (PV) solar panels in combination with battery storage (BS) for households could be instrumental in improving E...
Research on the transition towards a higher share of renewable energy
technologies (RETs) has put a strong emphasis on technological and
economic aspects of generation facilities, often ignoring an equally
important facet of successful transformation: social acceptance. The
prospect of many more siting and decision-making processes entering
previou...
Although barriers to the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), such as purchase price, range limitation, and charging infrastructure are diminishing, sales growth has still fallen short of industry expectations. As industry and governments have an interest in counteracting this negative trend by incentivizing EV purchasing, a better understanding of...
Small-scale investors are gaining recognition as a valuable source of private funding necessary for a successful energy transition. Still, there is limited knowledge about the characteristics of potential investors, especially in community renewable energy projects. This study intends to address this gap and investigates the impact of socio-demogra...

With increasing demand for renewable energy, research focusing on social acceptance of production facilities has firmly established itself over the past decades. While the influence of worldviews on individuals’ perceptions and behaviour has received widespread scholarly attention regarding a variety of related issues, social acceptance of renewabl...
This working paper first will explore how social-survey data on social acceptance of windpower can be integrated in GIS analytics to estimate renewable energy technology potentials. While first attempts have been made to couple public acceptance data with other parameters using GIS, our research effort stands out by offering a first exploration of...
This contribution describes the current attitudes of potential investors towards community financing of renewable energy projects. Based on a representative survey of more than 2,000 respondents, conducted in Austria and in French-and German-speaking parts of Switzerland in 2015, the study identified four types of potential investors depending on t...
Drawing from social network theory, scholars have identified two ways in which social ties influence venture capital investment decisions: directly through personal ties and indirectly through status hierarchies. Previous research has examined these effects independently. Our study is the first to perform a joint examination of the role of social t...
Typically literature on interfirm alliances assumes that when alliances terminate they failed. Even though this is often the case, recent research in this field shows that firms also withdraw from alliances for strategic reasons. One reason might be that the firms found options with higher match quality than the current partner, and thus switch the...
Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit Biokraftstoffen und Biokraftstoffprojekten. Die Autoren zeigen auf, welche rechtlichen, agrarischen, ökologischen und ökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen von Biokraftstoffen beachtet werden müssen. Die Betrachtung dieser Rahmenbedingungen und weiterer – eher anlagenbezogener – Faktoren ermöglicht es dann, Rückschlüsse au...
Whether or not targets to increase the share of renewable energy will eventually be met critically hinges upon the effectiveness of policies to mobilize private investment. However, just as energy policy can create opportunities, it can also create risk. This paper adds to a growing stream of literature at the intersection of energy research and so...
In ihrem Beitrag thematisieren Kügemann, Hampl und Lüdeke-Freund die gegenwärtige Situation der Biokraftstoffindustrie sowie die zukünftigen Herausforderungen für die Investitionen in fortgeschrittene Biokraftstofftechnologien. Ziel der Autoren ist es, die Biokraftstoffindustrie aus Investorensicht darzustellen, wobei der Fokus auf dem Zusammenspie...
Several countries have set targets and implemented policies to increase the share of renewable energy sources. Whether or not those targets will eventually be met critically hinges upon the effectiveness of policies to mobilize private investment. An implicit assumption shared by many policy makers is that there is a positive correlation between re...
Sustainability is gaining ground in the food retail industry. But empirical studies on sustainable development in retailing are rare when it comes to highlighting the customer's perspective. This paper investigates the impact of sustainability initiatives on store choice. We report from a web‐based conjoint experiment with 153 customers from Austri...
Introduction to the problem – Governments throughout the world are seeking to generate more of their domestic power from renewable energy sources. Power generation from wind energy is one of the most mature and important renewable energy technologies. On average, projects are steadily growing in size; the trend is towards large-scale wind power pla...
Building on social network theory, scholars have identified two ways in which social ties influence venture capital investment decisions: directly through personal ties, or indirectly through status hierarchies. However, previous research has examined these effects independently. This paper conducts a joint test for the influence of personal ties a...
During the past years, Germany witnessed a remarkable boom in solar photovoltaic (PV) installations. Favorable regulatory frameworks as well as a maturing global PV industry, offering continuously lower prices, were just two of the main drivers leading to the industry’s expansion. Though, an increasing inflow of capital was another necessary factor...

Der deutsche PV-Boom lässt sich in diesem Zusammenhang im W...
How does the influence of other well-known venture capital firms influence investment decision-making? While a great deal has been written about the venture capital decision process, in particular the criteria employed by venture investors when evaluating potential deals, we know much less about the role that contextual factors play in early-stage...
Reducing the dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating climate change are important policy objectives in the European Union and around the world. Accelerating the deployment of renewable energy resources is one way of contributing to those objectives. This requires substantial public and private investments. These investments are subject to conside...
The impact of venture capital and its capacity to initiate and shape innovative activity has generated a substantial and thriving stream of cross-disciplinary research. Within this literature, the decision processes and investment criteria employed by venture capitalists have been the subject of sustained scholarly interest for over three decades (...
