Electricity Tariff Changes and Consumer Sentiment on Household Consumption Expenditure in Malaysia

Purpose: This study investigates the impact of the current electricity tariff, represented by optimized tariff calculation, on Malaysian household�s consumption across different levels of income. Design/methodology/approach: The input-output (IO) model has vastly been used in many energy economics l...
