Measuring climatic impacts on energy consumption: A review of the empirical literature (2014, background): “While research shows that future generations will likely own more air conditioners, this is due to both price and income effects (Wolfram et al., 2012).”
Barriers to Electrification for "Under Grid" Households in Rural Kenya (2014, positive): “Additionally, most of the growth in energy demand over the coming decade is predicted to come from low-income countries (Wolfram et al. 2012).”
The Light and the Heat: Productivity Co-Benefits of Energy-Saving Technology (2019, background): “Given the repercussions of rising global temperatures due to climate change (IPCC, 2013), and the startling rate of growth of global energy demand (Wolfram et al., 2012), achieving high adoption rates of technologies that mitigate climate change is a key policy priority.”
The Rebound Effect and Energy Efficiency Policy (2016, background): “Notably, all existing estimates assume a ZCB scenario, but additional costs would change the income effects for other goods, reducing it if the product is more energy intensive than the marginal consumption bundle Moreover, most of these estimates are from developed countries, although there is some”
Energy intensity developments in 40 major economies: Structural change or technology improvement? (2013, background): “…in OECD and non-OECD countries was almost equal in 2007, but from 2007 to 2035 the US Energy Information Administration forecasts that energy consumption in OECD countries will grow by 14 percent, while energy consumption in non-OECD countries will grow by 84 percent (Wolfram et al., 2012, p. 119).”
Access to modern energy: a review of barriers, drivers and impacts (2016, background): “The demand for electric appliances in developing countries is expected to grow dramatically in the next decades (Wolfram et al., 2012), and is shown to be non-linearly connected to income growth, assuming households’ credit constraints (Gertler et al.”
Envirodevonomics: A Research Agenda for an Emerging Field (2015, background): “…largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the coming decades due to their projected growth in GDP and energy consumption (see Gertler et al. (2011); Wolfram et al. (2012)); China is currently the largest emitter of CO2 in the world and their emissions exceeded US emissions by 50 percent in 2012…”
Air conditioning and global inequality (2021, positive): “As incomes rise, adoption can spike dramatically (Wolfram et al., 2012).”
The Demand for Energy-Using Assets among the World's Rising Middle Classes (2016, background): “nonlinear relationship between income growth, especially pro-poor growth, and energy demand suggested by our model (Wolfram et al. 2012).”
