Does household income affect energy consumption in Uzbekistan?

We examine the impact of household income on energy consumption in Uzbekistan. Our results show that electricity, natural gas, and fuels are equally essential. Low and high-income households spend a larger budget share on electricity and gas. Households' budget share spent on other fuels is independent of their income level.

Does education influence household energy expenditure shares in Uzbekistan?

Unlike Bangladesh, household education variables play no significant role in household energy expenditure shares in Uzbekistan (see Table 6 ). Next, the urban area dummy has a statistically significant and positive coefficient in models with electricity expenditure shares for heating and non-heating season as a dependent variable.

Do households in Uzbekistan have similar consumption patterns?

We do so because the equivalence scales are not available specifically for Uzbekistan. Moreover, both countries have similar GDP per capita, and both are Asian economies with a predominantly Muslim population. We, therefore, hypothesize that households in these two countries are likely to have some common consumption patterns.

How long does it take to use natural gas in Uzbekistan?

Table 10 b shows that it requires 37.51 years for natural gas consumption expenditure shares in the total household budget to reach the minimum level during the heating season. This is in line with the literature that suggests an enormous potential for increasing the efficient use of natural gas in Uzbekistan.

Does Uzbekistan need more natural gas?

This is in line with the literature that suggests an enormous potential for increasing the efficient use of natural gas in Uzbekistan. Likewise, it requires 7.74 years for non-heating season natural gas expenditure shares to reach the minimum turning point.

What are Uzbek soums (UZS)?

Table 1 includes the amount in Uzbek Soums (UZS) that each household spent on all types of energy (excluding expenses on gasoline for private transport), electricity, natural gas, and other fuels (coal, firewood, animal dung, and waste, and liquefied natural gas, etc.) in the survey year.
