      abstract = {This book presents an in-depth empirical analysis of  consumer response to alternative policies for energy  conservation. Its main focus is on innovative policy  instruments that have attracted increasing attention from  academics and energy conservation practitioners alike:  critical peak pricing, conservation requests, in-home  displays, and home energy reports. The book investigates  the effects of these policy instruments on residential  demand for electricity. The data is drawn from a series of  randomized field experiments for the years 2012-2013 in  Japan, where serious concerns about power shortages have  emerged in the wake of the nuclear disaster in Fukushima.  By applying econometric techniques to the quantitative  analysis of residential power consumption, the book  demonstrates how consumers respond to innovative  instruments for energy conservation. It also offers new  perspectives on how these instruments can be used more  effectively and explores the potential for their practical  implementation. This highly informative book is essential  reading for energy specialists in both academic and  professional contexts.},
