摘要

我们在孟加拉国进行了一项随机对照试验,以检验影响家庭用电量的三种非价格节能策略:(i) 有关节电方法的建议(知识处理);(ii) 郊区其他人用电量的(中位数)(郊区比较);(iii) 邻居用电量的(中位数)(邻居比较)。我们发现,提供节能建议可以显著降低家庭的用电量和电费。与邻居和郊区比较相比,提供节电方法建议的效果更为明显。提供自身用电量信息与邻居用电量信息的效果类似于提供自身用电量信息与同一郊区家庭用电量信息的效果。在邻居和郊区对比组中,低效用电家庭的效果几乎与知识处理组的效果一样强。随着时间的推移,所有处理组的效果都会随着重复接受信息而增强。

Non-price energy conservation information and household energy consumption in a developing country: Evidence from an RCT

We use a randomized controlled trial in Bangladesh to test three types of non-price energy conservation strategies that influence electricity consumption of households: (i) advice on electricity conservation methods (knowledge treatment); (ii) (median) electricity consumption of others in the suburb (suburb comparison); and (iii) (median) electricity consumption of neighbors (neighbor comparison). We find that providing advice on saving energy could reduce households' electricity consumption and bills significantly. The effects are stronger for advice on electricity conservation methods than neighbor and suburb comparisons. The effects of providing information about own electricity consumption relative to neighbors’ electricity consumption is similar to the effects of giving information about own electricity consumption relative to electricity consumption of households in the same suburb. The effects among households who were inefficient users in neighbor and suburb comparison groups are almost as strong as those in the knowledge treatment group. The effects across all treatment groups become stronger over time as they receive repeated information.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management publishes theoretical and empirical papers devoted to specific natural resources and environmental issues. For consideration, papers should (1) contain a substantial element embodying the linkage between economic systems and environmental and natural resources systems or (2) be of substantial importance in understanding the management and/or social control of the economy in its relations with the natural environment. Although the general orientation of the journal is toward economics, interdisciplinary papers by researchers in other fields of interest to resource and environmental economists will be welcomed.
