Descripción del proyecto
Factores determinantes del comportamiento individual en el consumo energético
La eficacia energética depende de medidas políticas en materia de seguridad energética, pobreza energética y cambio climático promovidas por tecnologías innovadoras e inversiones en energía. Sin embargo, la escasa respuesta de los consumidores hacia estas tecnologías ha creado una brecha de eficacia energética que conlleva costes energéticos y financieros para las economías nacionales. El estudio del comportamiento individual puede ayudar a revertir esta tendencia. El proyecto EVIDENT, financiado con fondos europeos, llevará a cabo estudios de caso en el marco de encuestas y ensayos controlados aleatorizados para identificar los principales factores determinantes de la toma de decisiones individuales y establecer nuevas relaciones entre el consumo energético y otros campos. El proyecto empleará muestras bien definidas, diseños innovadores de experimentos y modelos econométricos avanzados para obtener evaluaciones fiables para el desarrollo de medidas políticas eficaces.
Objetivo
Energy efficiency lies at the very core of policy interventions for energy security, energy poverty and climate change, while its promoted by technological innovations and investments. However, it seems that these technologies are not adopted by consumers at least to the extent that the assumption of rational behavior would predict. This energy efficiency gap, the difference between expected and realized energy consumption, costs to national economies both in terms of monetary values and emissions. Significant role in mitigating this issue is the exploration of the drivers of individual behavior. There is tremendous opportunity and need for policy-relevant research that utilizes randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental techniques to estimate the returns to energy efficiency investments and the adoption level of energy efficiency programs. EVIDENT proposes several different case studies under the framework of randomized control trials (RCTs) and surveys in order to define the main drivers of individuals’ decision making and to establish new relationships between energy consumption and other fields such as financial literacy. A large number of participants, well stratified samples, innovative design of experiments and state of-the-art econometric models that will be employed in EVIDENT and will contribute in robust estimates and subsequent policy measures for effective policy interventions.
