点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to understand the factors influencing energy poverty in Australia. Using econometric methods, this project will examine: 1) the impact of life shocks and weather shocks on energy poverty, and 2) the impact of existing government programs and policies on energy poverty. This project expects to generate new knowledge on the pathways through which shocks and policies influence energy poverty. The outcomes include knowledge generation and dissemination of findings to key stakeholders. This project will provide significant benefits, including better understandings of energy poverty that can influence policy directly shaping the health and wellbeing of Australians and others vulnerable to energy poverty.
