Summary/Abstract

This paper analyzes several economic and socio-demographic factors which affect households' energy choices in Turkey. The data is obtained from the Household Budget Surveys (HBS) conducted by the Turkish Statistics Institute (TÜ?K). The multinomial logit model is used to identify households' energy choices. The most important finding of the study is that monthly income of households or household welfare in general has significant effect on energy choices. It is also important to note that ages of persons have influence on energy choices. Indeed, health concerns easiness in use was found as criteria referred to particularly by household heads at age 50 and over when making energy choices. As far as settlements are concerned, the most salient characteristic of urban dwellers vis á vis rural dwellers is their dominant preference for natural gas while rural dwellers have their choice for more conventional fuels.

Summary/Abstract

The causal relationships between energy consumption and economic growth have given rise to much discussion but remain controversial. Alternative data sets based on different time spans, countries, energy policies and econometric approaches result in diverse outcomes. A meta analysis using a multinomial logit model with 174 samples governing the relationships between GDP and energy consumption is applied here to investigate the major factors that affect these controversial outcomes. The empirical results have demonstrated how the time spans, subject selections including GDP and energy consumption, econometric models, and tools for greenhouse gases emission reduction characteristics significantly affect these controversial outcomes.
