Heide, Marlen

In: Public integrity, 2021, p. 13

This article explores how risk rationales affect and alter national security secrecy.

Framing national security secrecy : a conceptual review

Heide, Marlen ; Villeneuve, Jean-Patrick

In: International journal, 2021, vol. 76, no. 2, p. 238-256

Security of supply and the energy transition : the households' perspective investigated through a discrete choice model with latent classes

Motz, Alessandra

In: Energy economics, 2021, vol. 97, no. May, p. 16 p

A consumer-centric, market-based approach to the security of electricity supply has been recognized as increasingly important in the context of the energy transition. Nonetheless, there is no clear-cut evidence regarding the drivers of consumer preferences toward security and the perceived trade-offs between security and sustainability. Using stated preference data, we develop a discrete...
