Regional-level household energy consumption determinants: The european perspective

Author

  • Borozan, Djula

Abstract

Starting from the assumption that household energy use is manifold and intertwined, shaped by many factors which overlap not only at the individual level, but also at a higher level of scales, the paper developed a more integrated approach to its determinants. To assess them and also to find out whether there is a difference between regional-level factors that determine it universally, and those that are context-dependent, the static and dynamic panel analyses were employed in 64 European regions over the period from 2005 to 2013.
