本文研究了东日本大地震和随后的福岛核电站事故后家庭的自愿节电意识。我们根据东京电力公司（TEPCO）和关西电力公司（KEPCO）供电地区进行的网络问卷调查，对消费者对空调、冰箱和电器的待机功率的设置偏好进行了联合分析。本文的主要发现如下。首先，我们观察了灾后东京电力和韩国电力地区家庭的自愿节电意识。其次，与没有受到电力短缺直接影响的韩国电力地区相比，直接受到电力短缺影响的东京电力地区的自愿节电意识较高。第三，如果进一步提高电价，这两个地区的消费者对价格变化的反应都会很小。此外，我们还发现，在夏季用电高峰期间，东京电力地区家庭自愿减少电力消耗的可能性比韩国电力地区高出 26%。 (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
This paper examines the voluntary electricity-saving awareness of households after the Great East Japan Earthquake and the subsequent accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station. We conduct a conjoint analysis of consumer stated preferences for the settings of air conditioners, refrigerators, and the standby power of electrical appliances, based on a web questionnaire survey administered in the areas supplied by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) and Kansai Electric Power Company (KEPCO). The main findings of this paper are as follows. First, we observe awareness of voluntary electricity conservation among the households in both the TEPCO and KEPCO areas after the disasters. Second, awareness of voluntary power saving is higher in the TEPCO area, which has been directly affected by the electric power shortages, in comparison with the KEPCO area, where there was no such direct impact. Third, if power prices are to be further raised, the consumer responses to the price changes would be small in both areas. Furthermore, we show that the potential voluntary reduction in electric power consumption of a household in the TEPCO area is 26% more than that in the KEPCO area during the summer peak periods.
