When cooking meets confucianism: Exploring the role of traditional culture in cooking energy poverty

Houjian Li et al.

Summary: This paper explains the intrinsic causes of household energy poverty in China from the perspective of the relative status of men and women based on Confucian culture. The study matches two micro databases, China Family Panel Studies and Chinese General Social Survey, with prefecture-level Confucian culture data, and identifies the effect of Confucian culture on energy poverty using an instrumental variable method. The results show that stronger Confucian culture is associated with a higher probability of households falling into energy poverty. The analysis suggests that the association between Confucian culture and household energy poverty is stronger in lower income levels and rural areas. This study provides valuable insights into the factors influencing energy poverty and offers policy implications.

Panel Probit Models with Time-Varying Individual Effects: Reestimating the Effects of Fertility on Female Labour Participation*

Jie Wei et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a probit model for panel data with individual effects that vary over time and addresses the incidental parameter problem using a correlated random effects approach. It aims to construct unbiased estimators for average marginal effects (AMEs) and provides empirical evidence on the impact of fertility on female labor force participation, showing that fertility has a larger effect in Germany compared to the US and even stronger in the 2010s, potentially impacting relevant policies.

Cooking fuel choices and subjective well-being in rural China: Implications for a complete energy transition

Wanglin Ma et al.

Summary: This study examines the impacts of cooking fuel choices on individuals' subjective well-being in China.

Valuing energy poverty costs: Household welfare loss from electricity blackouts in developing countries

Abinet Tilahun Aweke et al.

Summary: The study examines the welfare loss of households in developing countries from energy poverty, specifically focusing on the value placed on avoiding intermittent or unreliable electricity networks. Through a survey conducted in both urban and rural areas of Northern Ethiopia, it was found that households were willing to pay an average of 499 Ethiopian birr (18 USD) per year to avoid electricity blackouts. This signifies the significant welfare losses that energy poverty poses in developing countries.

Energy poverty in developing countries: A review of the concept and its measurements

Saidou Abdoulaye Sy et al.

Summary: This paper presents a review of the concept and measurements of energy poverty in developing countries. The review found that there are multiple definitions of energy poverty due to differences in climate, household preferences, and social and cultural beliefs. The lack of a universally accepted definition has led to confusion between energy poverty and fuel poverty. Three categories of indicators are used to communicate energy poverty issues: single indicators, dashboard indicators, and composite indices. However, data scarcity limits the widespread use of energy poverty measurements, delaying the assessment of energy policy implementation.

Green behavior, green self-image, and subjective well-being: Separating affective and cognitive relationships

Heinz Welsch et al.

Summary: The study uses UK panel data and the mediator model of life satisfaction to show that the impact of pro-environmental behavior on life satisfaction is mainly mediated by affect, while the relationship between green self-image and life satisfaction is more influenced by cognition. This suggests that the warm glow of pro-social actions may contribute to the association between green behavior and life satisfaction, while green self-image is predominantly a cognitive-evaluative construct.
