This is supported by the logit regression results. Second, one of the causes of low-income households falling into energy poverty may be that they cannot afford energy-efficient electronic appliances. The energy poverty ratio can be alleviated by energy welfare programs; thus, government intervention is required.

Introduction In July 2007, the world experienced a drastic increase in the oil price, which continued until mid-2008 and had a significant influence on the economy (Figure 1). However, the price dropped sharply at the beginning of 2009 and, after that, showed a moderate increase. Once again, the oil price began to increase in early 2011 and stayed at the record level of 2008 until the end of 2014. These kinds of oil price hikes inevitably have a negative effect on households’ standard of
