摘要：This paper aims, firstly, to analyse the dynamics of electricity efficiency measuredby electricity intensity in the household sector in Croatia at the subnational level,in the period 2001-2013. Then, to shed more light on determinants affectingelectricity intensity, it evaluates the effect of social capital thereon by conductingthe stepwise and quantile regression methods. The results of the former indicatesupport for a negative effect of generalised trust and reciprocity on householdelectricity intensity. The results of the latter show that social capital does notinfluence electricity intensity uniformly; in other words, its influence is moresignificant in tourism-oriented regions and regions lagging behind. The findingsare briefly discussed within the social study findings aimed at encouraging energyefficiency and sustainable behaviour of households through collective action forwhich generalised trust and reciprocity, as well as social trust in general, are crucial.
