Showing papers in "Energy Economics in 1997"

TL;DR: This article examined the causality between energy and GNP and energy and employment by applying recently developed techniques of co-integration and Hsiao's version of the Granger causality to Taiwanese data for the 1955-1993 period.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used co-integration techniques to develop an error correction model of annual US residential electricity demand, which suggests a structural shift in consumption during the 1960s.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared six different methods of aggregate energy intensity decomposition applied to the same set of data, for the manufacturing sector in 10 OECD countries from 1970 to 1992.

TL;DR: In this article, two general methods for decomposing energy-induced carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions in the manufacturing industry based on the Divisia index approach are presented, where changes in the aggregate CO 2 intensity are distributed among four causal factors, namely fuel CO 2 emission coefficients, manufacturing production structure, fuel shares and sectoral energy intensities.

TL;DR: In this paper, a logistic regression analysis of data derived from a survey of households reveals significant reasons for not investing in energy saving items in the home, including lack of information, non-appropriability, small potential saving, restricted access to credit and transactions costs.

TL;DR: In this article, data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to compare the performance of Malaysia's National Electricity Board with those of other countries in a similar stage of development, as well as with that of the UK.

TL;DR: PAGE is a computer simulation model developed in 1992 for policy analysis of the global warming problem as discussed by the authors, and it has been used extensively in the past 25 years to predict future damages from global warming.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new model has been developed which endogenizes technical progress and its effects and feedbacks on economic, energy and environmental variables, using WARM, an econometric general equilibrium model for the European Union and for each member country.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed carbon dioxide emissions from energy consumption using an input-output (I-O) model, for different sectors of the Indian economy in 1990 and developed alternative scenarios are developed for 2005.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the impacts of a global tradable permits market to stabilize global carbon emissions on the Indian economy under the following two emissions allowance allocation methods: grandfathered emissions and equal per capita emissions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tried to analyse and forecast the country's demand for coal as it moves towards the next century, and applied three different methods to contrast their performances in fitting the Chinese data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate charcoal demand and supply elasticities to determine rebound effects from improved stoves in the Sudan, which are increases in fuel consumption resulting from gains in real income upon the use of more efficient appliances, and from downward price adjustments associated with the reduction in fuel requirements.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined factor substitution in Greek manufacturing during the 1980s using pooled data in static and dynamic translog expenditure share models and found that in the short run, electricity and capital are complements, as are labor and non-electrical energy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the cost of energy shortages to Chilean industry and show that, under current legislation, the outage cost lies between the costs of an equiproportional and a selective restriction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss energy demand and expenditure patterns for Latino and non-Latino households in the United States as a case example of analyzing residential energy consumption across different population groups in a country.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore whether time-of-use (TOU) pricing or a Hopkinson tariff with demand subscription would be more suitable for a regulated distribution company in North America.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the evolution of SO2 emission intensities of the power sector in 12 selected Asian economies during the period 1980-1994 and the roles of fuel intensity and generation mix on changes in emission intensity using the Divisia decomposition approach.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the design of electricity tariffs to guide an individual consumer to select the tariff designed for his/her consumption pattern, and analyze the relationship between the consumers' optimal choice of tariffs and the weights in the aggregated consumers' benefit function.

TL;DR: The authors examined the methodological issues that underlie these problems and compared the results of imposing environmental taxes in two different econometric modelling structures and proposed a simple empirically based model that embodies some of these features.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the demand for energy in Greece in the tradable and non-tradable sectors and for the three main types of energy, namely oil, electricity and solid fuel.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general condition for a merger to improve welfare, and apply the condition on the Nordic market for electricity and show that in this particular market the Norwegian competition authority should ban domestic mergers with no cost savings.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new pricing system based on the Chilean tariff regulations is proposed to deal with an uncertain energy supply, which consists of a basic rate for each unit actually consumed and a compensation that the utilities pay their customers for reducing below their normal consumption during an energy shortage.

TL;DR: In this article, an energy process model with geometric dostributed lag (GDL) demand, called the energy GDL process model, was updated to aid in CO2 emission control policy analysis.

TL;DR: A new model in marketable pollution permits that consists of perfectly competitive, multi-product,multi-pollutant firms is developed based on the theory of variational inequalities.

TL;DR: In this article, the question of whether the upstream infrastructure monopolist in electricity transmission should be allowed to participate on the downstream generation market was examined, and it was shown that open access will be superior to common carriage.

TL;DR: In this paper, a macroeconometric model that integrates micro-level analysis of technological options to reduce carbon emissions is used to assess the impact of a small carbon tax and three cases for the utilization of carbon revenues are examined.
