Can economic incentives enhance adoption and use of a household energy technology? Evidence from a pilot study in Cambodia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate whether economic incentives enhance continued use and fuel savings from improved cookstove (ICS) adoption in rural Cambodia and find that households do respond to these rebates by adopting the intervention ICS at significantly higher rates, and by using it more frequently and for longer periods.

Domestic energy consumption and climate change mitigation
Wokje Abrahamse,Rachael Shwom +1 more
TL;DR: Whitmarsh et al. as mentioned in this paper provided a brief overview of research on domestic energy use, covering four main disciplines: engineering, economics, psychology, and sociology, and discussed the results of empirical studies that examine how households may be encouraged to reduce their energy use and help mitigate climate change.

Capturing the co-benefits of energy efficiency in China — A perspective from the water-energy nexus
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the environmental and water saving co-benefit of long-run energy efficiency improvement based on a recursive multi-sectoral dynamic CGE model and show that more water will be used for energy production in the future because of the increase in energy production.

Technology, Prices, and the Derived Demand for Energy
Ernst R. Berndt,David O. Wood +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an industrial demand for energy is essentially a derived demand: the firm's demand for the energy is an input, derived from demand for a firm's output, which is an output.
