Showing papers in "Energy Economics in 1986"

TL;DR: The authors used the nested constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production function to estimate elasticities of substitution between capital, labour, energy and materials over the 1971-1976 period around the initial energy crisis.

TL;DR: In this article, a cross-sectional analysis of houses constructed through the Energy Efficient Housing Demonstration Program of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency is presented, where values of investments in energy efficiency are derived from a hedonic regression which includes a vector of thermal integrity factors as an independent variable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept and methods used to assess the social cost of unsupplied electricity are reviewed and some estimations from the literature, from Sweden and other countries, are presented and analysed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general demand subscription pricing policy for electric power service is investigated, where a menu of service contracts for assigning different interruption probabilities and prices to different load levels is used.

TL;DR: In this article, a range of static and dynamic translog-based expenditure shares models are estimated for non-energy producing industrial sectors of the major seven countries of the OECD area.

TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of changes in final demand on energy use are analysed through the use of a combined energy use/input-output model of the province of Saskatchewan, using various index measures, the energy interdependence of the provincial economy is examined for the 1974-1979 period.

TL;DR: The authors explored the two-way causality between energy demand and economic activity in the context of a macroeconometric model of the UK economy and found that the demand for energy is more price elastic in general equilibrium than it is under the more conventional assumptions of partial equilibrium.

TL;DR: In this paper, an econometric model, utilizing the translog cost function, is estimated for three major sectors of the economy - agriculture, industry, and transport, using time-series data over the period 1960-1980.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method to estimate the energy efficiency of households is presented, where households are treated as productive units organized to provide services for the occupants, and the approach to measuring efficiency compares a group of productive units along several dimensions of input resources and service outputs.

TL;DR: The unified model is capable of integrating technical aspects of the Australian energy system with overall levels of economic activity and the effects of changes in the energy system on the pattern of energy inputs to production are demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the South Australian data for the period 1960-1982 to estimate a translog cost function for various energy sources and that of substitution possibilities between any two types of energy sources.

TL;DR: In this paper, two logit-type models of the aggregate market share of diesel automobiles are specified and estimated using 1979-1983 monthly sales data for 18 makes and models of five manufacturers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an updated estimate of the GDP elasticity of energy consumption for LDCs using a production function approach in determining this elasticity, which is explained in terms of economic activity, capital intensity and structure of economy.

TL;DR: In this article, the value of the ratio of energy consumption growth to economic growth forms the subject of strenuous debates, particularly in France, and it is shown that one should treat with caution the values this indicator can have; any resulting energy forecast would be fragile.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed separate methods for projecting short-and long-run electricity demand, using utility specific data, and obtained elasticity estimates at the low end of the range of previous estimates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic econometric model of the exploration and production process in the USA, specified in continuous time and estimated by way of a suitable discrete approximation over the period 1938-1982, is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a portfolio selection model was developed to explain the historical demand for nuclear reactors by region and some qualitative policy implications with respect to the DOE's objective of reviving the nuclear power market.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of the utility-maximizing household is developed in which data on satiety levels for indoor temperature can be used along with budget constraint parameters and actual temperature choices to estimate parameters of utility function.

TL;DR: This paper developed a model of oil supply where firms, in attempting to keep extraction costs down, build up reserves not only by discovering and developing new reservoirs but also by increasing the recovery of previously discovered deposits.

TL;DR: In this paper, an algorithm for calculating the welfare effects of a policy change in the context of commonly used lagged-adjustment demand models is presented, involving natural gas price decontrol.

TL;DR: In a recent paper as mentioned in this paper, Dick et al. argued that differences in the impact of the second oil price shock on GDP in four selected developing countries were mainly determined by the openness of each country's economy.

TL;DR: In this article, an econometric model of fuel demand for road transport is developed, and applied to provincial level Both the short-term and long-term elasticities have been computed

TL;DR: In this article, a simple neoclassical profit maximizing model is econometrically estimated for the province of Ontario, Canada, to take account of the interaction between energy and the aggregate economy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of time-of-use electricity rates on peak period electricity usage was investigated in seven Californian hydraulic cement plants and the results indicated a small dampening of on-peak demand which was more pronounced in the winter.

TL;DR: In a recent article as mentioned in this paper, Anderson [1] critically examines the electricity tariffs in Sweden, with which we disagree, and adds some points neglected by Andersson, with the purpose of this comment being to clarify some issues treated by Anderson, and to add some points that were not neglected by Anderson.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the oil pricing policies for an oil-based economy within a national planning framework, and the main conclusion is that Hotelling's r -percent rule fails to apply for a nation if the minimum-import constraint becomes binding.
