Abstract:
We provide new insights into (i) the level of energy-related financial literacy in households, (ii) the sociodemographic characteristics that affect energy-related financial literacy, and (iii) whether energy-related financial literacy influences household electricity consumption. We use a data set consisting of energy-related financial literacy questions combined with monthly electricity consumption data. We draw from the recent literature on energy-related financial literacy and suggest two new variables based on subjective perceptions on energy-related financial literacy. Gender has a strong association with energy-related financial literacy.
Keywords:
