Time-saving goods and services have become increasingly popular because they increase a household's disposable time, which could be allocated to other activities that consume energy and/or electricity. We develop a simple theoretical model and define the time rebound effect as the increased...

In this paper, we estimate the CO2 emission function based on the production function, taking into account the interregional spillover effect in Japan. Using the estimated result, we propose suitable means of simulation using spatial econometrics and simulate which prefecture can reduce the CO2...

This study examines the effectiveness of economic incentives in promoting electricity-conservation behavior among Japanese households. Fifty-three Japanese households participated in a field experiment and were offered monetary rewards depending on their rate of reduction in electricity...
