The promotion of US energy efficiency policy is seen as a very important activity by the Energy Information Agency (EIA …). Generally, the level of energy efficiency of a state is approximated by energy intensity, commonly calculated as the ratio of … energy use to GDP. However, energy intensity is not an accurate proxy for energy efficiency, because changes in energy …

China is one of the largest consumers of energy globally. The country also emits some of the highest levels of CO2 … globally. In 2009, 18% of the world’s total energy was consumed in China and the growth rate of energy consumption in China is … 6.4% per year. In recent years, the Chinese government decided to introduce several energy policy instruments to promote …

Switzerland from a household survey by constructing an index of the stock of household appliances as well as by using energy … the impact of appliances on residential electricity demand. Furthermore, we also use energy services to estimate the … also find that estimates of the electricity demand when we substitute the usual residential characteristics with energy …

Energy efficiency policy is seen as a very important activity by almost all policy makers. In practical energy policy … analysis, the typical indicator used as a proxy for energy efficiency is energy intensity. However, this simple indicator is … not necessarily an accurate measure given changes in energy intensity are a function of changes in several factors as well …

In this paper, we measure the energy efficiency in residential energy consumption using a panel dataset comprised of 40 …,246 observations from US households observed over 1997-2009. We fit a stochastic frontier model of the minimum input of energy needed … to meet the level of energy services demanded by the household. This benchmarking exercise produces a transient and a …
