The system is proving to be much less efficient than expected because energy saving works are "credence goods", which means that their quality can be correctly measured neither before nor after their achievement. Because of this informational bias, white certificates encourage economically inefficient works. Despite this, they are favored by the public authorities because they belong to the panoply of nonpunitive, non-fiscal, decentralized and local job-creating micro-policies. date: 2023 date_type: published publisher: Presses de la Fondation nationale des sciences politiques id_number: 10.3917/reco.741.0051 official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/126357 faculty: tse divisions: tse keywords: Economies d’énergie keywords: Certificats blancs keywords: Micro-politiques keywords: Mécanismes incitatifs language: fr has_fulltext: TRUE doi: 10.3917/reco.741.0051 subjectsJEL: JEL_D13 subjectsJEL: JEL_D82 subjectsJEL: JEL_L97 subjectsJEL: JEL_Q48 subjectsJEL: JEL_Q51 view_date_year: 2023 full_text_status: public publication: Revue Économique volume: vol. 74 number: n° 1 place_of_pub: Paris pagerange: 51-80 refereed: TRUE issn: 0035-2764 oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:126357 harvester_local_overwrite: issn harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: abstract harvester_local_overwrite: publisher harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub harvester_local_overwrite: number harvester_local_overwrite: volume harvester_local_overwrite: publish_to_hal harvester_local_overwrite: hal_id harvester_local_overwrite: hal_version harvester_local_overwrite: hal_url harvester_local_overwrite: hal_passwd oai_lastmod: 2024-03-07T13:22:14Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 publish_to_hal: TRUE hal_id: hal-04128779 hal_passwd: @3wz9cy hal_version: 2 hal_url: https://hal.science/hal-04128779 citation: Crampes, Claude and Léautier, Thomas-Olivier (2023) Les Certificats d'Economie d'Energie entre économie et politique.
