Showing papers in "Energy Economics in 1996"

TL;DR: In this article, the authors test for cointegration between total energy consumption and real income of six Asian economies: India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a nonparametric methodology to create a benchmark measure for the relative performance of the publicly operated organizations as well as the privately operated organizations and their private counterparts.

TL;DR: A survey of general equilibrium models applied to energy studies can be found in this paper, where the authors report their special features, evolution through time as well as their limitations, and their relevance in analysing the economic impacts of controlling pollution and greenhouse gases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Salt Lake City retail gasoline market during the 1989 to 1993 period suggests that there was asymmetric adjustment, and the evidence points in the direction of retail price symmetry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the evolution of CO 2 intensity of the electricity sector in 12 selected Asian countries during the period 1980-1990 using Divisia index decomposition approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, robust elasticity estimates of coal demand for China are derived using annual data 1953-92 using a powerful yet practically convenient and recently developed modelling procedure devised by Stock and Watson (known as Dynamic OLS (DOLS)), who provide evidence, based on Monte Carlo simulations, of this estimator being superior in small samples compared to a number of alternative estimators, as well as being able not only to accommodate higher orders of integration but also to account for possible simultaneity within regressors of a potential demand system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an optimal control methodology to determine greenhouse gas indices, including methane, nitrous oxide, and HCFC-22, for a two gas abatement strategy involving methane and carbon dioxide.

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach to industrial energy consumption decomposition is introduced to study the impacts of structural change and changes in sectoral energy efficiencies, which can be readily used to extrapolate possible future trends in energy demand.

TL;DR: In this article, the welfare effects of introducing taxes on emissions of carbon dioxide within an empirical general equilibrium model of the Norwegian economy are analyzed. But the authors focus on the CO 2 tax regime where they aim at stabilizing CO 2 emissions at the 1990 emission level in 2020, compared to a reference scenario without such taxes.

TL;DR: This article examined the behavior of crude oil spot and futures markets in the UK and USA during the 1990-1991 Gulf conflict and found that such relationships are strongly temporal and that the time-varying nature of price discovery relationships.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of changes in the price of crude oil on agricultural employment in the USA between 1947 and 1995 is investigated and the existence of an empirical relationship between agricultural employment and crude oil price changes is established using Granger causality.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of fuel prices, income, government taxation and technological change in influencing the consumers' choice of fuel economy was analyzed using a new international data set and a nonlinear maximum likelihood model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new iterative econometric technique is developed to correct for abnormal weather conditions in published energy consumption data, which is applied to sectoral natural gas sales data for the province of Ontario, Canada.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of gasoline demand in the GCC countries was analyzed and it was found that gasoline demand is inelastic with respect to both price and income for both the short and long run.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined possibilities of energy conservation in the generation of electricity and water in Kuwait through analysing the underlying production structure by employing a translog flexible cost function and using series data.

TL;DR: In this paper, a diffusion model of car ownership is used to analyze the dynamics of the car park in two countries, the UK and Japan, in terms of three effects: product diffusion, income dispersion, and income growth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impact of oil price shocks on employment in a specific industry and found that coal price shocks have larger impacts on coal mining employment than do shocks to coal prices or coal wages.

TL;DR: Application of the model to data indicates that in order to comply with the CAAA, fuel switching is preferred over scrubbing the flue gases, and fuel switching proved to be 9.5% less costly than scrubbing.

TL;DR: In this paper, a more general model of electricity demand allowing for changes in the order of consumer willingness to pay for a given quantity is presented, and the use of a two-stage rationing mechanism is proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a short-term forecasting and simulation model of utility fuel demand based on the linear logit model is investigated. But the model ignores the distinctive characteristics of electric utilities (load curves, wheeling, etc.) yet produces remarkably good forecasts at both the national and regional levels.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a gas planning model based on the basic ideas of the theory of non-renewable resources which allows a look at the field development problem while simultaneously taking account of the impact competition may have on the demand side.
