摘要

非货币激励在鼓励节能方面的研究越来越多。有鉴于此，我们在学生宿舍开展了一项自然现场实验，以评估社会认可和目标设定对节约用电和内在节能动机的影响。通过差分模型，我们发现，与对照组相比，目标设定组的宿舍用电量平均减少了 15.93%。然而，社会认可平均效果不佳。此外，研究还发现，平均而言，社会认可和目标设定都没有挤出或挤进宿舍节电的内在动机。异质性分析表明，宿舍特征会影响内在动机的挤出效应。

Social recognition, goal setting, and energy conservation: Evidence from a field experiment in student dormitories

Non-monetary incentives are increasingly being studied in encouraging energy conservation. In light of this, we conducted a natural field experiment in student dormitories to assess the effect of social recognition and goal setting on electricity saving and the intrinsic motivation to save energy. Using a difference-in-difference model, we found that goal setting reduced the dormitories’ electricity consumption by 15.93% on average compared to the control group. However, social recognition was not effective on average. In addition, the study found that both social recognition and goal setting, on average, did not crowd out or crowd in the intrinsic motivation to save electricity in dormitories. The heterogeneity analysis showed that dormitory characteristics affect the crowding effect on the intrinsic motivation.

期刊介绍： Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including energy conversion, distribution and use as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation and other public policy techniques. Energy policy is closely related to climate change policy because totalled worldwide the energy sector emits more greenhouse gas than other sectors.
