Application of the economic theory of self-control to model energy conservation behavioral change in households

Smart meters and in-house displays hold a promise of energy conservation for those who invest in such technology. Research has shown that households only have a limited interest in such technology and information is thus often neglected, with rather limited energy savings. Surprisingly few empirical investigations have a theoretical foundation that may explain what is going on from a behavioral perspective. In this study the economic theory of self-control is used to model energy-efficient behavior in middle-income households in Sweden. Our results show that different levels of energy-efficient behavior do not really have any impact on the actual consumption levels of electricity. Instead, different beliefs exist of being energy-efficient, but the households do not act accordingly. Our results suggest that the payment time period should be changed to stimulate the monitoring of bills and to introduce a gaming strategy to change incentives for energy conservation.QC 20190329</p

What factors matter in rent negotiations? Differences in views between landlords and retail trade tenants

This paper investigates the differences in subjective views of landlords and retail trade tenants regarding the importance of factors in their rent negotiations.  It is explored whether expectations are forward or backward looking as economic activity is increasing after the pandemic. Also, the different levels of trust for institutions, and for the counterpart as organization and individual, are analyzed. The study uses a web-based survey, responses from some 100 landlords and tenants in the Swedish retail sector, and logit regressions. As demand strengthens after the pandemic, indicating a possibility to increase rents, landlords are forward  looking at this stage of the business cycle as regards  industry developments, while tenants are backward looking or focusing more on the current rents. Tenants focus more on the vacancies and the property value, which are set under pressure due to structural developments. Landlords show a higher trust for their counterpart as an individual than do tenants. The study contributes to an increased understanding of rent negotiations in two sectors facing structural challenges and difficulties due to the pandemic.

A model Integrating the Facilities Management Process with the Building End User’s Business Process (ProFacil)

The ProFacil model is a generic process model defined as a framework model showing the links between the facilities management process and the building end user’s business process. The purpose of using the model is to support more detailed process modelling. The model has been developed using the IDEF0 modelling method. The ProFacil model describes business activities from the generalized point of view as management-, support-, and core processes and their relations. The model defines basic activities in the provision of a facility. Examples of these activities are “operate facilities”, “provide new facilities”, “provide re-build facilities”, “provide maintained facilities” and “perform dispose of facilities”. These are all generic activities providing a basis for a further specialisation of company specific FM activities and their tasks. A facilitator can establish a specialized process model using the ProFacil model and interacting with company experts to describe their company’s specific processes. These modelling seminars or interviews will be done in an informal way, supported by the high-level process model as a common reference
