The analysis of household energy
consumption patterns is critical for evaluating public
mechanisms, such as subsidies and social tariffs that aim to
provide lower income earners with better access to energy
sources. This paper focuses on Mexican households to analyze
the relations between their levels of income, consumption of
different forms of energy, and the role played by different
household characteristics. Using microdata from the Mexican
Income Expenditure Surveys, the paper first relate income
and energy expenditure to determine the shape of this
relation. It then applies OLS and Tobit models to determine
how income levels affect energy consumption in relation to
other covariates. The results show a positive relation for
income deciles and energy consumption and some household
characteristics -- pointing to differentiated mechanisms for
improving energy use.
