O'Sullivan, KyranBarnes, Douglas F.2012-05-292012-05-2920070-8213-6878-8https://hdl.handle.net/10986/6615Analysis using data on household energy use from Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) surveys can help policymakers to identify which households are affected by energy poverty and then design policies that will accelerate the household energy transition. This paper shows that LSMS can provide accurate data on household energy use, combined with other data on household wellbeing (including consumption, income, health, and education), to monitor the progress in the household energy transition from traditional biomass fuels to modern fuels and electricity and to evaluate the effect of government energy policies on living conditions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACUTE RESPIRATORY DISEASEAIR POLLUTIONAPPROACHAVAILABILITYBATTERIESBIOGASBIOMASSBIOMASS FUELSBUILDING MATERIALSBURNERSCHARCOALCOALCOMMERCIAL FUELSCOMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPSCONTINGENT VALUATIONCOOKINGCOST OF ENERGYCOVERSCRUDE OILDEMAND CURVEDIESELDIESEL ENGINESDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMESTIC LIGHTINGEFFICIENT ENERGY USEELECTRIC LAMPSELECTRIC LIGHTINGELECTRIC MOTORSELECTRICITYELECTRICITY SUPPLYELECTRICITY UTILITYEMPLOYMENTEND-USEENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY EXPENDITUREENERGY INFRASTRUCTUREENERGY MARKETSENERGY POLICIESENERGY POLICYENERGY POLICY ANALYSISENERGY POVERTYENERGY PRICEENERGY SECTORENERGY SERVICEENERGY SOURCEENERGY SOURCESENERGY SUPPLYENERGY USEFANSFUELFUEL PRICEFUEL PRICESFUEL SUPPLYFUEL TYPEFUEL TYPESFUELSFUELWOODGRID ELECTRICITYGRID ELECTRICITY SERVICEHEATHOUSEHOLD APPLIANCESHOUSEHOLD ENERGYHOUSEHOLD ENERGY USEHUMAN POWERINCOMEKEROSENEKEROSENE LAMPSKEROSENE USEKEROSENE WICKKEROSENE WICK LAMPSLIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASLIQUID FUELSLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSMEASUREMENTSMODERN FUELSNATURAL GASPETROLEUMPETROLEUM GASPOLLUTIONPOWERPRIMARY ENERGYPRIMARY FUELQUALITY CONTROLRELIABILITY OF SUPPLYRENEWABLE ENERGYRURAL AREASRURAL ELECTRIFICATIONRURAL HOUSEHOLDSSAFETYSAFETY ISSUESSANITATIONSMOKESOURCE OF ENERGYSPACE HEATINGTARIFF STRUCTURESTOOLSTRADITIONAL BIOMASSTRADITIONAL FUELSTRANSITIONSTRANSPORTUSE OF BIOMASSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6878-7
