Fossil fuel pricing and vulnerable households 1: University of Helsinki, Finland; 2: Aalto University, Finland This paper studies the unequal impacts of fossil fuel pricing. Using household-level microdata from Finland during the 2022 European Energy Crisis and exploiting quasi-random contract expiration dates, we study how households respond to higher energy prices. We find that high- and middle-income households reduce energy use and modestly increase earnings, whereas low-income groups face rising defaults and cut back on their basic consumption. A longer adjustment period softens the shock, as households anticipate the price hike before it occurs. Finally, we use data to identify the vulnerable groups that experience pronounced negative effects from the shock. | |
