家电生态积分制度是指日本政府从2009年5月至2011年3月实施的项目。该系统虽然在执行期的后半期显示出放缓的迹象，但在一定程度上促进了促进需求的效果。这些影响相对较大，特别是在大国家首都区以外的地区和有老年公民的家庭。这可以归因于生态点制度，“电器在那些很少努力节省能源消耗的家庭中变得普遍”。此外，可以推断，生态点制度提高了大城市家庭冰箱的相对效用水平，以及小城市有老年人的家庭空调和电视的相对效用水平。因此，我们认为，在实施环境政策时，通过合理确定每种商品的目标家庭类型，根据目标家庭的差异设定补贴率，并考虑信息提供政策的理想方法，可以使政策效果更有影响力。
The Home Appliance Eco-Point System refers to the project executed by the Japanese government from May 2009 to March 2011. The system, while showing signs of slowing down in the latter half of the implementation period, has, to a certain extent, facilitated a demand-promoting effect. Those effects are relatively large, particularly in regions outside the greater national capital district and in households with senior citizens. It can be attributed to the Eco-Point system that “electrical appliances became widespread in those households that had rarely made an effort to save on energy consumption”. Moreover, it can be inferred that the Eco-Point system enhanced the relative utility levels for refrigerators in households in major cities, and for air conditioners and televisions in households with elderly members in small cities. Thus, when implementing environmental policy, we believe that the policy effects can be made more impactful by reasonably determining the household types to target for each good, by setting the subsidy rates according to the differences in the targeted households, and by considering the desirable method of the information provision policy.
