早期的研究探讨了家庭总收入如何决定家电拥有量。然而，本研究使用日本全国家庭收入和支出调查的微观数据来研究收入结构和财富如何决定家庭中的电器数量。家庭收入结构确实会影响家电拥有量：虽然非劳动收入降低了拥有洗碗机的可能性，但劳动收入却提高了拥有洗碗机的可能性。妻子的收入和非劳动收入增加了电视的数量，而丈夫的收入则减少了电视的数量。家电拥有量主要取决于住房条件。拥有独立屋的家庭拥有更多的电器，但更频繁地安装太阳能热水器。
Earlier research examined how total household income determines appliance ownership. However, this study uses micro data from the Japanese National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure to examine how income structure and wealth determine the number of appliances in a household. Household income structure does affect appliance ownership: Though non-labor income lowers the likelihood of dishwasher ownership, labor income raises it. Wives’ incomes and non-labor income increase the number of televisions while a husband’s income decreases it. Appliance ownership is predominantly determined by housing conditions. Households owning a detached house have more appliances, though more frequently install solar water heaters.
