Özet
A significant portion of household energy requirements is used for space heating. Although the fundamental factors determining household energy consumption have been the focus of many studies, they have neglected to consider the effect of unobserved heterogeneity, which has the potential to play a significant role as a determining factor in energy consumption. The study analyzes household decisions in choosing an energy source for residential space heating applying a random effect ordered logit model on Income and Living Conditions Longitudinal Micro Data Set for the years 2016–2019 to fulfill this gap in the literature. The results indicate that selection of residential space heating type (dried animal dung, charcoal, wood, natural gas, electricity) is influenced by socioeconomic and dwelling factors. We also found that the energy ladder hypothesis is valid for households in Turkey. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd
