中文摘要
摘要 我们研究向家庭提供分项消费反馈的影响,并构建了一个框架以评估其福利含义。在智能电表的背景下,我们发现,相对于接受标准(总量)反馈的群体,提供电器层面的反馈会产生 5% 的节能效应。因此,若提供电器层面的反馈,智能电表的推广将显著更有效。我们还表明,当前评估消费者剩余的监管方法高估了智能电表反馈带来的福利收益。
Abstract
Abstract We investigate the impact of providing households with disaggregate consumption feedback and develop a framework to assess its welfare implications. In the context of smart metering, we find that the provision of appliance-level feedback causes an energy conservation effect of 5% relative to a group receiving standard (aggregate) feedback. Hence, a smart meter rollout will be substantially more effective if appliance-level feedback is provided. We also show that the current regulatory approach to assess consumer surplus overestimates the welfare gains from smart meter feedback.
