本研究通过确定日本工业部门电力使用效率低下及其决定因素，分析了节约能源的潜力。具体来说，我们使用随机前沿分析，根据电力公司的数据来估计电力消耗的低效率。我们确定了电力消费效率的重要决定因素，以及东日本大地震后国家能源政策的变化改变了电力消费行为。这项研究的贡献在于，其研究结果可用于提高旨在提高能源效率的政策的成本效益。
This study analyzes the potential for energy savings by identifying inefficiencies in electricity use and their determinants in the Japanese industrial sector. Specifically, we used stochastic frontier analysis to estimate inefficiencies in electricity consumption based on data obtained from electric power companies. We identified significant determinants of electricity consumption efficiency and that changes in national energy policy following the Great East Japan Earthquake changed electricity consumption behavior. The contribution of this study is that its findings can be used to improve the cost-effectiveness of policies aimed at improving energy efficiency.
