TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the relationship between GDP and electricity consumption in 10 newly industrializing and developing Asian countries using both single data sets and panel data procedures, and the empirical results from single data set indicate that the causality directions in the 10 Asian countries are mixed while there is a uni-directional short-run causality running from economic growth to electricity consumption.

TL;DR: The empirical results indicate that the numbers of affected cases have a significant impact on SARS- affected countries but not on Avian Flu-affected countries, and the need to take the necessary precautions in the event of an outbreak of Avian flu and pandemic influenza warrants further attention and action.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between the crude oil price and the global grain prices for corn, soybean, and wheat and found that the change in each grain price is significantly influenced by the changes in the crudeoil price and other grain prices during the period extending from the 3rd week in 2005 to the 20th week in 2008.

TL;DR: The main purpose of as mentioned in this paper is to estimate the energy price equivalence of carbon taxes and emissions trading in an energy market, while alternative market structures are taken into consideration. And the theoretical findings show that the economic effects of these two schemes on energy prices depend on the market structures.

TL;DR: While Avian Flu is here to stay, its effect is currently not as significant as that of SARS, and empirical results indicate that both the short run and long run SARS effect have a more significant impact on international tourist arrivals than does Avian flu.
Abstract: This paper compares the impacts of SARS and human deaths arising from Avian Flu on international tourist arrivals to Asia. The effects of SARS and human deaths from Avian Flu are compared directly according to the number of human deaths. The nature of the short run and long run relationship is examined empirically by estimating a static line fixed effect model and a difference transformation dynamic model, respectively. Empirical results from the static fixed effect and difference transformation dynamic models are consistent, and indicate that both the short run and long run SARS effect have a more significant impact on international tourist arrivals than does Avian Flu. In addition, the effects of deaths arising from both SARS and Avian Flu suggest that SARS is more important to international tourist arrivals than is Avian Flu. Thus, while Avian Flu is here to stay, its effect is currently not as significant as that of SARS.

TL;DR: A survey of the recent progress in the literature of energy consumption and economic growth causality nexus can be found in this paper, which highlights that most empirical studies focus on either testing the role of energy (electricity) in stimulating economic growth or examining the direction of causality between these two variables.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present and estimate two empirical models of renewable energy consumption and income for a panel of emerging economies, and show that increases in real per capita income have a positive and statistically significant impact on per capita renewable energy usage.
802 citations
TL;DR: This article explored the relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions in the so-called European Union 5 (EU-5) countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) for the 1985-2016 period.

TL;DR: In this article, the causal relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, electricity consumption and economic growth within a panel vector error correction model for five ASEAN countries over the period 1980-2006 was examined.
