The Urban                                    Household Energy Transition	Social and Environmental Impacts in the Developing World	Barnes, D.F. Krutilla, K. Hyde, W.	World Bank (financed by)		2004	This                                                        book develops a comprehensive assessment of the evolution of residential fuel choice and consumption in urban areas in the developing world, and the effect of urban growth on periurban forest resources. Taken together, energy surveys and biomass data contained sufficiently wide variation in urban fuel choice and consumption patterns, local resource conditions, and energy policy regimes to enable an assessment of the factors underlying the evolution of urban fuel utilization and forest resources. By comparing the patterns of energy use of a large number of cities, the auithors were able to distill a comprehensive picture of both the diversity underlying the energy transition and the fundamental principles applying across cases.

Energy and Poverty		Lamech, R. O'Sullivan, K.	World Bank	PRSP Sourcebook		Following a brief review of some facts about energy and the poor, the article discusses the demand of households and business for energy. Then, it presents an energy–poverty framework and suggests five energy development goals to focus energy–poverty diagnosis and policy formulation. The impact on poverty reduction of progress in achieving the five energy development goals is discussed, and indicators are defined to establish baselines and monitor progress. Finally, outlines policies and programs that may be adopted to achieve these energy development goals are presented.
Ending Africa's poverty trap		Sachs, J.D. et al.	UN Millennium Project (cooperation)		2004	This paper outlines a theory of Africa’s poverty trap and the structural conditions and history that led to it. It identifes how key public investments could enable well-governed African countries to meet the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals and thereby begin to extricate themselves from the trap. It outlines the specific sets of investments needed to achieve these goals in three African countries, and it estimates the corresponding financial costs. The authors also propose a new operational framework through which the international community could help African countries make the needed investments.

Seven Centuries of Energy Services	The Price and Use of Light in the United Kingdom (1300 - 2000)	Fouquet, R. Pearson, P.J.G.				This paper presents a survey of seven centuries of energy services within the UK. While emphasising the value of past experience, it also warns against the dangers of over-reliance on past trends for the long-run forecasting of energy consumption given the potential for the introduction of new technologies and fuels, and for rebound and saturation effects.
Rural Lighting Services	A Comparison of Lamps for Domestic Lighting in Developing Countries	Nieuwenhout, F.D.J. van de Rijt, P.J.N.M. Wiggelinkhuizen, E.J. van der Plas, R.J.				Outcomes are presented of a World Bank funded research project. Emphasis is on 12 volt DC lights suitable for solar home systems in developing countries. For comparison a number of traditional light sources have also been included. Based on the measurements a proposal is formulated for a luminous efficacy standard.

Contracting
Financial structure in the Indian power sector		Carstairs, J. Ehrhardt, D.		Energy Policy, Vol. 23 (1995), No. 11, pp. 981-990	1995	In India, the private power initiative of 1991 has offered one solution to the financing problem - the private financing of generation against long-term power purchase agreements. However, this approach encounters a major problem, the financial weakness of the purchasing agents, the state electricity boards, that pay a dominant role in most state's power sectors. The article discusses the consideration of the factors that will affect the optimal capital structure for SEBs.
Enforcement, Regulation and Development		Laffont, J.			2001	After discussing examples of enforcement failures for regulatory contracts in Africa, the article develops a regulation model with asymmetric information and imperfect enforcement.

Household Fuel Choice in Zimbabwe	An Empirical Test of the Energy Ladder Hypothesis	Hosier, R.H. Dowd, J.		Resources and Energy, Vol. 9 (1987), pp. 347-361	1987	The paper applies a multinomial logit formulation of the energy ladder to household energy-use data from Zimbabwe. The results show that although households do move away from wood to kerosene and electricity as their economic status improves, a large number of other factors are important in determining household fuel choice.
From Linear Fuel Switching to Multiple Cooking Strategies	A Critique  and Alternative to the Energy Ladder Model	Masera, O.R. Saatkamp, B.D. Kammen, D.M.		World Development, Vol. 28 (2000), No. 12, pp. 2083-2103	2000	In the paper the authors evaluate the energy ladder model utilizing data from a four-year (1992--96) case study of a village in Mexico and from a large-scale survey from four states of Mexico. They show that an alternate "multiple fuel" model of stove and fuel management based on the observed pattern of household accumulation of energy options, rather than the simple rogression depicted in the traditional energy ladder scenario, more accurately depicts cooking fuel use patterns in rural households.
