Cooking fuel preferences among Ghanaian Households: An empirical analysis (2015, methodology): “Econometric studies on this topic can be grouped essentially into three based on the focus of the study, a group that focus on different energy sources (Hosier and Dowd, 1987; Reddy and Reddy, 1994; Masera et al., 2000; Barnes et al., 2002; Heltberg, 2004,2005; Ouedraogo, 2006 and Farsi and Filippin”
Determinants of Household Fuel Choice in Major Cities in Ethiopia (2009, background): “As in the case of Mexico, as shown in Masera et al. (2000), fuel stacking could be important in urban Ethiopia because households there have limited options for fuel, as well as stoves to bake injera2 (although there are more options for cooking other foods).”
Bioenergy and sustainable development (2007, background): “The poorest generally get most (or all) of their energy services from biomass; as people’s incomes grow, they move up the energy ladder toward more modern and cleaner fuels (but even as they do that, they may continue to use some biomass) (29, 30).”
Household Fuel Use in Developing Countries: Review of Theory and Evidence (2018, background): “…of modern fuels (Hosier and Kipondya 1993; Kowsari and Zerriffi 2011), high cost of appliances associated with using exclusively modern fuels (Davis 1998), fluctuations of commercial fuel prices (Leach 1992) and preferences inducing households not to fully adopt modern fuels (Masera et al. 2000).”
Renewables in the energy transition: Evidence on solar home systems and lighting fuel choice in Kenya (2013, neutral): “…stacking is therefore addressed in some cases by using typical fuel combinations as choices (e.g. Heltberg, 2004) and ignored in other cases by 2 Masera et al. (2000) point out that more expensive technologies are also often perceived to signal higher social status so that one additional aim…”
Energy and Sustainable Development at Global Environmental Summits: An Evolving Agenda (2003, background): “For example, millions of women in developing countries, particularly in Africa, have to walk long distances and spend substantial proportions of their day in gathering fuelwood, they are more susceptible to diseases of the lungs and eyes because of the energy choices they are forced to make, and the”
Model projections for household energy use in India (2011, background): “Even then, people often choose the similar fuel, due to familiarity or habit (Masera et al., 2000).”
Beyond fuelwood savings: Valuing the economic benefits of introducing improved biomass cookstoves in the Purépecha region of Mexico (2010, background): “In general, local households rather than switching to other fuels follow amultiple fuel or fuel stacking strategy (Masera et al., 2000).”
Household cooking fuel choice and adoption of improved cookstoves in developing countries : a review (2014, background): “These include socioeconomic, availability of fuels, cultural, environmental, cookstove characteristics and government policies (Leach, 1992; Masera et al., 2000).”
