Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined non-price factors influencing individual energy saving behaviors. We investigated several themes through a structural estimation approach and a field experimental approach. Through the analysis of individual energy saving behaviors at home, we found that social norm plays an important role in their energy saving behaviors. We also found that a structural estimation approach is effective in estimating the size of impacts influenced by social norm. In the field experimental approach, we conducted experiments toward hotel guests. It is suggested that appealing to altruism by donating the amount of energy savings by hotel guests is effective. We also found that monetary incentive also works in energy savings.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、社会規範が人々の省エネ行動において重要な役割を果たすことが示された。また、社会規範の効果を明らかにするのに、構造推定アプローチの有効性が示された。一方、社会実験のアプローチでは、ホテルでの宿泊者を対象に社会実験を行った。その結果、節電分だけ環境保全団体へ寄付する利他性に訴えるアプローチも一定の効果をも、一定の効果を持つことが示された。民間ホテルでの節電で、このようなアプローチが有効な可能性を示された。
