Research summary
Environmental and urban/regional issues analysis in terms of consumer and private company's characteristics of preference and behavior. Selecting domicile, housing performance and durable consumer goods determines substantial part of loads of the consumer sector to the environment and locks in the loads over the long run. Also for companies, the long term loads to the environment depend to a large degree on the location and judgment on capital expenditure. We want to help solve the environmental and local issues by identifying preferences of consumers and companies or mechanism of their behaviors. 【Subject of research (1) Overview】 We analyze how price, income level, household attribute and other factors may change consumption of electricity, gasoline and other types of energy in the household sector, by using techniques of experimental economics or econometrics. 【Subject of research (2) Overview】 We analyze the effect of dynamic pricing and nudge in terms of renewable energy promotion, and research relevant policy and measures.

Present specialized field
Environmental policy and social systems (Keyword：Behavior analysis of environment/energy/transport/residence, Climate change mitigation assessment, Environmental Policy, Renewable energy transaction mechanism)
