通过离散选择实验（DCE），墨西哥阿瓜斯卡连特斯的一个城市居民的样本，为他们的家庭电费账单做出贡献，被要求从四个电力合同中选择-一个现状选择，三个可再生能源（RES）的类型，RES在当前电力组合中的百分比，RE部门的新就业机会，自报的双月电费增加%。受访者报告了对可再生能源和可再生能源部门新工作的积极支付意愿（WTP），与生物质能源相比，太阳能的WTP更高。这些结果是及时的，因为墨西哥由于现任联邦政府推行的能源战略而出现了紧张局势-这实际上减缓了2015年启动的能源转型。本文的研究结果表明，我们的DCE的受访者将支持一个公正的能源转型，旨在提高可再生能源和创造绿色就业机会。
Via a discrete choice experiment (DCE), a sample of urban residents that contribute to their household electricity bill in Aguascalientes, Mexico, has been asked to choose from among four electricity contracts -a status quo alternative, and three alternatives described in terms of type of renewable energy source (RES), % of RES in current electricity mix, new jobs in RE sector, and % increase in self-reported bimonthly electricity bill. Respondents report a positive willingness to pay (WTP) for both RES and new jobs in RE sector, and a higher WTP for solar energy in comparison to biomass energy. These results are timely as there is a tension in Mexico due to the energy strategy pursued by the current federal administration -which in practice has slowed down the energy transition initiated in 2015. This paper's findings suggest that respondents to our DCE would support a just energy transition aiming to boost both RES and the creation of green jobs.
