Unveiling the heterogeneous effect of energy taxes and income on residential energy consumption

Energy Policy, 2019, vol. 129, issue C, 13-22

Abstract: The paper investigates the effect of energy taxes in the European Union (EU) across different levels of residential final energy consumption (RFEC) in the period 2005–2016. The analysis is based on quantile panel regression models that directly and indirectly consider energy taxes. More precisely, the developed models provide a multivariate framework for evaluating their effects and, at the same time, for validating the existence of the energy environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) across the selected quantiles.
