This book presents an in-depthempirical analysis of consumer response to alternative policies for energyconservation.
This book presents an in-depth
empirical analysis of consumer response to alternative policies for energy
conservation. Its main focus is on innovative policy instruments that have
attracted increasing attention from academics and energy conservation practitioners
alike: critical peak pricing, conservation requests, in-home displays, and home
energy reports. The book investigates the effects of these policy instruments
on residential demand for electricity. The data is drawn from a series of
randomized field experiments for the years 2012–2013 in Japan, where serious
concerns about power shortages have emerged in the wake of the nuclear disaster
in Fukushima. By applying econometric techniques to the quantitative analysis
of residential power consumption, the book demonstrates how consumers respond
to innovative instruments for energy conservation. It also offers new
perspectives on how these instruments can be used more effectively and explores
the potential for their practical implementation. This highly informative book
is essential reading for energy specialists in both academic and professional
contexts.
