| 摘要 | This dissertation is composed of four essays on the role of energy and investment literacy in the domain of appliance choice and in explaining residential electricity demand among Swiss households. The dissertation also examines the role of information and the impact of decision support tools, such as education programs and online calculators, in adoption of new appliances. From a public policy perspective, one important avenue in reducing residential electricity consumption is to foster the adoption of energy-efficient lighting and household appliances. However, the identification of electrical appliances with the lowest lifetime cost is a challenging task – one that necessitates knowledge on a range of energy-related information (e.g., purchase price, electricity consumption and frequency of use of an appliance, current and future price of electricity) and cognitive abilities to correctly process all the information. The goal of this dissertation is to examine the decision-making process of boundedly rational consumers in the domain of appliance choice, to evaluate the role of information, support tools, and energy and investment literacy on the ability to identify an appliance with the lower lifetime cost, to estimate the electricity demand and the end-use efficiency in the use of electricity, and lastly, to study the determinants of the level of energy-related financial literacy among Swiss households. |
