TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between energy and capital has been characterized by major conflicting evidence, and the most prominent explanation is that time-series studies reflect short-term relationships and cross-section analyses capture long-term effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, a static input-output (I-O) framework was developed for analyzing energy issues in the short run, and two problems in its applications were discussed: (i) interdependence between the projected sectoral output in the multiplier analysis; and (ii) definition of substitution effect in changing the energy input coefficient.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the role of sectoral shift and improvements in energy intensity of individual industries in aggregate manufacturing sector energy intensity changes in Taiwan during 1971-1985 and found that changes in energy intensities of individual industry were the main influence in changes in aggregating manufacturing sector fuel and electricity intensities during the period.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model is formulated which is based on intertemporal optimization in a household production context, and the model is estimated using a dynamic version of the PLS (partial-least-squares) approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth in Jamaica during 1970-86, a period of rapid increase in energy prices and found that the aggregate demand for electricity is slightly income elastic, electricity has a significant impact on economic growth, the electricity intensity has increased over time, residential demand is fairly income elastic and commercial demand is price inelastic.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify some of the factors that have determined the level and pattern of energy demand in developing countries during the 1970s and early 1980s, and construct aggregate oil and energy demanding functions for a selection of oil-importing countries and oil-exporting countries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the incremental market value of higher thermal efficiency standards in new houses, and resulting energy savings, are estimated using linear regression techniques based on the empirical findings, a homebuyer discount rate is calculated and cost-effectiveness tests are performed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the variable elasticity of the demand for gasoline by applying the well-known Box-Cox extended autoregressive (BCEA) model of Savin and White.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors established the linkage between the quantity of wood fuels consumed, and the level of real incomes and inflation respectively in the country using time series data from 1974 to 1987.

TL;DR: In this paper, the elasticity of substitution between a number of input pairs in agriculture can vary by substantial amounts depending on the time period used for the estimation Energy in agriculture, which was a complement for machinery in the 1950s, was a substitute by the 1970s.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare and contrast results obtained from estimating fossil fuel cost shares in the generation of electricity in the USA from two models: one national and one regional model.

TL;DR: In this article, a linear multiple regression model was used to estimate and project the total end-use energy requirements of a household in a rural household in Nepal, considering the end-to-end efficiency of the devices employed for specific enduse activities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the extent of interfuel substitution, as well as substitution between energy and non-energy inputs, in the large-scale manufacturing sector of Pakistan has been examined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of sulphur dioxide emission restrictions on the efficiency of coal-fired power plants was investigated using a best-practice frontier methodology, and the efficiency scores were then used to evaluate the effects of regulations using plant operations data from 1984.

TL;DR: In this article, a simultaneous equation system was proposed to explore the relationship between price of energy, energy consumption, and output in five Pan-Pacific countries using time-series data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the shape of the equilibrium demand function determines whether a price is stable or volatile, i.e., a concave demand relation induces a smooth, and a convex relation leads to a volatile, strategy.

TL;DR: In this paper, an engineering energy demand forecasting model of the industrial sector is presented, which identifies the energy end-uses and associated technologies, both process-specific and generic, in each industrial branch and the evolution of the equipment stock of each technology is simulated as a function of product demand, retirement and retrofit of old equipment and economic competition between new technologies to meet new output requirements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of energy at the macro level of the Greek economy is analyzed in an aggregate production function with vintage capital-energy interactions, and an aggregate energy demand function emerges.

TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic CGE model was constructed to analyse the medium-term path of the Kuwaiti economy and the reference path suggests that GDP, consumption and exports will grow less than the projected population size with a rapid decrease in per capita foreign assets and a reduction in the household income per Kuwaiti.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of various types of energy-price impacts and different estimation techniques used in the past and suggest that the estimation from a system model of the agriculture sector is the best for several reasons.

TL;DR: In this article, economic and linear programming models were used to evaluate petroleum markets during a politically based disruption and, alternatively, during a military confrontation in 1995, and the market scenarios were characterized by a substantial loss of exports from the Persian Gulf region, resulting in substantially higher prices and reduced supply and demand of refined products, especially fuels for transportation.

TL;DR: Theoretically, optimal tariff structures should reflect long-run marginal costs as discussed by the authors, which can only explain the differences in the structures of energy prices, which can be explained by a different philosophy of price setting.

TL;DR: In this paper, the macroeconomic, inter-sectoral and inter-industry effects of a fall in domestic crude oil production are examined using ORANI, a large multisectoral model of the Australian economy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors modeled energy consumption in the residential, commercial, industrial, and transport sectors of Florida and showed how projected relative price changes can be expected to further alter final energy consumption and total (primary) energy consumption.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of a $5/bbl oil import fee on drilling activity in the USA is re-examined and it is shown that the initial stimulus to the US rotary rig count of 420 new rigs would not completely disappear over the next five years, but last much longer.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical approach was introduced to address a set of interwined policy issues in regard to the development strategies of three separate electric power systems and the natural gas sector of Malaysia.

TL;DR: The authors showed that under normal conditions, when the OPEC cartel has been functioning effectively, the sticky-price market tends to drive the spot market, while under other conditions, like an international supply crisis or weak cohesion in OPEC, spot and sticky-prices may deviate considerably, and the Spot market drives the sticky price market.

TL;DR: The capacity planning for a natural gas pipeline in Sweden with uncertain demand is dealt with and treated by using a mixed integer programming model and the problem of natural gas expansion is solved in a simplified way based on some assumptions.

TL;DR: In this article, a general purpose short-run general equilibrium model of the Australian economy is used to illustrate the effects of a substantial switch from crude oil levy revenue to petroleum products excise revenue, which is assumed to emanate from a 10% fall in the world price of crude oil.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the use of non-linear price structures in the context of the demand for energy and proposed a welfare loss minimization criterion to design the optimal nonlinear tariff given some suitable welfare loss-minimizing criterion.
