Abstract

This study analyzes household energy consumption expenditure using location, income, socio-economic, demographic, and prices as determinants in the Philippine context. Various regions of the country cope with different geographic properties which affect household energy consumption mixes and expenditure. These differences include weather patterns, nature of employment, energy source availability and prices that influences preferences in household capital and energy sources. Aside from the separate region representing the cities and other urban areas, location is also identified as agricultural or non agricultural area. Using the family income-and-expenditure survey (FIES) 2003 and the household energy consumption survey (HECS) 2004, authors extracted prices, household characteristics, and socio-economic variables to test their significance to household energy expenditures.
