Residential energy expenditures and the relevance of changes in household circumstances

Simonetta Longhi

Energy Economics, 2015, vol. 49, issue C, 440-450

Abstract: This paper analyses the impact that dwelling characteristics and characteristics and behaviours of household members have on per capita energy expenditures. It also analyses whether changes in household socio-economic circumstances translate in changes in energy expenditures. Socio-economic characteristics have a moderate impact, while dwelling characteristics and especially household size have much larger impacts. The largest changes in energy expenditures are due to changes in household size.
