Book excerpt: Given the share of the residential sector in households' energy consumption, residential energy retrofitting is a burning issue in the climate change policy strategy. All the investment barriers faced by households invite us to explore the investment factors and to assess the efficiency of public policies. In a first part, the thesis studies the investment factors by estimating a discrete choice model on data from the French annual "Energy Management" survey conducted by Ademe, particularly focusing on factors heterogeneity among retrofitting types. A second part of the thesis deals with the assessment of public policy promoting energy efficiency, both from the demand and the supply sides of the energy efficiency markets. Regarding the demand side, the thesis uses two complementary methods: an ex-post econometric study focuses on the French tax credit called Credit d'lmpot Developpement Durable implemented in 2005 while an ex-ante study uses a hybrid energy-economy model to compare different policies. Regarding the supply side, given the high degree of concentration on the energy efficiency markets, we use a theoretical model to assess public policy efficiency in the presence of three markets imperfections: the negative externality linked to C02 and the imperfections of market competition and information inducing price-quality discrimination.
