Abstract :This research seeks to examine how socio-demographic and economic variables influence the cooking fuel choices of households in Türkiye. This study employs a multinomial probit model to examine 47.529 households using data from the Turkish Statistical Institute’s 2015–2018 Household Budget Survey. The analysis incorporates explanatory variables including household income, household size, dwelling type, heating system, educational attainment, and marital status. Income, household size and housing type are shown to be important in determining fuel choice. Households with central heating prefer cleaner fuels, while households with traditional heating systems use wood and coal. Policy recommendations include promoting cleaner cooking fuels through subsidies for low-income households and improving energy infrastructure in rural areas. The research highlights the importance of cleaner energy for households and the findings provide guidance on how best to shape energy policies for Türkiye.
Keywords : Pişirme enerjisi, enerji tercihi, multinomial probit model
