Chapter Chapter 1 in Consumer Energy Conservation Behavior After Fukushima, 2016, pp 1-5 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The main focus of this book lies on innovative policy instruments that have drawn increasing attention from both academics and practitioners in energy conservation: 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, using the data drawn from a series of randomized field experiments for the fiscal years 2012–2013 in Japan, where serious concern about the shortage of electricity supply has emerged in the wake of the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. By applying econometric techniques to the quantitative analysis of residential consumption of electricity, the book demonstrates how consumers respond to the innovative instruments for energy conservation. It also offers new perspectives on using these policy instruments for energy conservation more effectively and indicates the potential for their practical implementation.
