TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the different direction of causal relation between energy consumption and economic growth in India and found that bi-directional causality exists between consumption and growth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the residential demand for electricity in Taiwan as a function of household disposable income, population growth, the price of electricity and the degree of urbanization.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of unit root and causality tests were used to detect causality between the GDP and energy consumption in Turkey employing Hsiao's version of Granger causality method for the 1950-2000 period.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the causal relationship between various kinds of industrial energy consumption and GDP in Shanghai for the period 1952-1999 using a modified version of the Granger (1969) causality test proposed by Toda and Yamamoto (J. Econ. 66 (1995) 225).

TL;DR: In this paper, the regional and global geographical, technical and economic potential of onshore wind energy is assessed using a grid cell approach, and the regional cost-supply curves of wind electricity are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a methodology for modeling low-carbon emitting technologies within the MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model, a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the world economy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors decompose energy data to identify the main factors behind the improvements in energy intensity in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union and show that energy prices and progress in enterprise restructuring are the two most important drivers for more efficient energy use.

TL;DR: In this article, a partial-adjustment approach and a simultaneous equation approach are used to estimate residential, industrial, and total electricity demand by a partial adjustment approach and by a simultaneous-equation approach, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the rebound effect for the US manufacturing sector using time series data applying the dynamic OLS method (DOLS) and find that when allowing for asymmetric price effects, the recovery effect is approximately 24% for the United States manufacturing sector.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply Yang's model to examine the impact of electricity supply on economic growth in Sri Lanka and show that the application of Yang's regression analysis is one possible approach to estimate a better range for the parameter EO.

TL;DR: In this article, the issues of structural stability, price and income sensitivity of both long and short-run residential demand for electricity in Greece were examined employing monthly data over the period 1986-1999.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potentials of carbon capture and sequestration technologies (CCT) in a set of long-term energy-economic-environmental scenarios based on alternative assumptions for technological progress of CCT were analyzed.

TL;DR: In this paper, two methods for end-use estimation, which can be applied on household data for appliance holdings, demographic and economic variables, are compared, and the numerical results from the two models are compared.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential for energy efficiency improvements to trigger economic forces that offset potential savings from using more efficient technologies (rebound effects) is explored, and the results suggest significant and surprising differences across sectors concerning both energy use and consequences for the build-up of greenhouse gases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the recently developed generalized forecast error variance decomposition technique of Koop et al. to determine the information content of the growth rate of energy consumption.

TL;DR: In this article, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)'s Commitments of Traders (COT) data are examined for crude oil, unleaded gasoline, heating oil, and natural gas futures contracts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of learning-by-doing on the timing and costs of emissions abatement and found that the major impact of LBD on the costs of emission abatements was on the sensitivity of costs to cumulative experience.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors adopt a novel empirical approach to the crude-oil price formation for the purpose of understanding the price reactions of OPEC member countries to changes in the exchange rate of the US dollar against other major currencies and prices of other members.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the strength of shared trends and shared cycles between North American natural gas and crude oil markets using daily data from January 1991 to April 2001 on spot U.S. Henry Hub natural gas prices and WTI crude oil prices.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the potential role of several energy technologies, including carbon capture and dispose (CC and D), hydrogen and advanced transportation systems, on the cost of stabilizing CO2 concentrations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between macroeconomic conditions and electrical usage in the commercial and industrial sectors, and showed that the causality occurs at business cycle frequencies and that there are asymmetries over the business cycle.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the Data Envelopment analysis (DEA) method with US utility data to examine implications of illustrative cases of strategic behavior reported by regulators.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend the conventional two-factor Fisher index decomposition approach to n factors to complement an existing additive decomposition, and derive a similar formula to that proposed by Seigel [J. Am. Stat. Assoc. 40 (1945) 520−523].

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an econometric study dealing with household demand for energy in the Netherlands, and the main objective of the study is to present an estimation of the actual impact of an already implemented energy tax, which was introduced by the Dutch government in 1996.

TL;DR: In this article, the changes in industrial energy intensities and CO2 intensities from use of energy over a period of 20 years (1981-2000) were analyzed using log-mean divisia decomposition technique.

TL;DR: This paper is intended to explore some of the algorithmic issues in LBD modeling for carbon dioxide abatement, and it should be possible for BARON or a similar approach to be extended to large-scale LBD models for climate change.
