| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We considered consumer lifestyle of sustainable consumption society with effective use of the renewable energy. For that purpose, we conducted the following research.
(1)We constructed an input-output table to analyze a next-generation energy system. Based on this table, we estimate the effect of using renewable energy on Japan’s economic structure as well as the feed-in tariff’s contribution to the cost structure. (2)We estimated the induced effects of introduction of photovoltaic and wind power generation plants and corresponding smart-grid systems in Japan. (3)We showed the economic and environmental effects induced by a system that produces fuel from green microalgae using input-output analysis. (4)Using Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior, we developed a hypothesis about consumer behavior regarding the choice of smart homes and satisfaction with them. We conducted a web-based questionnaire survey and tested the hypothesis using a multivariate probit analysis.
