Resumo(s)
This dissertation consists of three essays on the study of firm and consumer behaviour motivated by the energy markets. The first chapter studies whether a firm with better information than their rivals about the customers in the market can use that information to earn more profits. The second chapter studies whether a profit-maximising firm would want to induce positive consumption to a consumer that has self-control issues. The third chapter analyses empirically whether self-control issues can explain the problem of self-disconnection that persists in prepayment energy meters.
