Tiivistelmä: | This paper empirically examines customer preferences for the reliable sources of electricity, using data obtained from a survey of back-up systems owned by large computer users in Japan. The empirical results based on probabilistic discrete choice models indicate that (1) customers face a trade-off between the price and the reliability of the power supply, and (2) customer characteristics , such as types of business and levels of electricity usage, have significant impacts on the choice of back-up apparatuses. |
