Abstract

In this study, we measure the energy poverty rate and the severity of energy poverty through various indicators. Energy voucher line, poverty line, TPR, MIS and MEPI are used for measuring the poverty rate and severity in Korea. There are few empirical comparative analysis in a real case about energy poverty. To overcome the limitation of TPR, the required energy consumption is estimated by quantile regression. Finally, we measure the severity of energy poverty classification, which is defined as a rate of nesting in the indicators. The main conclusion of this paper involves the next steps to reach an appropriate target of energy policies.
