Hidden Fuel Poverty in Spain and Ireland
In this article, we use expenditure-based and self-reported data on fuel poverty for Spain and Ireland to analyse extreme levels of low energy consumption. Unlike most of the European countries, these two nations have recently launched official strategies to measure and tackle fuel poverty. We focus on measurement and targeting of measures to tackle fuel poverty. We find that low energy consumption is linked with low-income levels and that popular expenditure-based metrics fail to identify the most vulnerable. In addition, newly proposed metrics for hidden poverty are more effective in identifying vulnerable households. We also find differences across countries regarding the targeting of measures to tackle fuel poverty. In Ireland, a larger proportion of households that report being unable to afford suitable levels of heating are covered by government aid than in Spain.

Fuel Poverty and Financial Literacy
Fuel poverty is a condition that is distressing families in Europe and elsewhere. One of its drivers is low energy efficiency levels. Some research indicates that financial literacy can help achieve higher levels of energy efficiency. We use data from a survey of Irish home owners to analyse how financial literacy can affect the decision making process when adopting measures to reduce the burden imposed by high energy prices. We also analyse the role of financial preferences in current levels of energy efficiency, barriers to accessing energy efficiency retrofit grants and the relationship between fuel poverty and financial literacy. We find only a very weak association between financial literacy and fuel poverty across a set of different metrics. Household income is very strong strongly associated with both fuel poverty and energy effi-ciency. Our findings provide the first empirical evidence of the association between financial literacy and fuel poverty, and that the administrative burden associated with accessing energy efficiency retrofit grants represents a substantial barrier.

The Sound of Silence
Marion Shilling began her career as a silent film ingenue for MGM and went on to play heroines in Westerns of the 1930s. Stage actress Esther Muir made the transition from Broadway to Hollywood just as talkies became popular. Hugh Allan was a leading man in the last years of the silents only to leave the film business in 1930 because of the uncertainty surrounding his transition to sound films and his disgust with studio politics. These three performers and thirteen others (Barbara Barondess, Thomas Beck, Mary Brian, Pauline Curley, Billie Dove, Edith Fellows, Rose Hobart, William Janney, Marcia Mae Jones, Barbara Kent, Anita Page, Lupita Tovar, and Barbara Weeks) reminisce here about Hollywood and the movie business as it made the transition.
