Energy security: Definitions, dimensions and indexes
TL;DR: It is found that the definition of energy security is contextual and dynamic in nature and significant differences among studies are observed in the way in which energy security indexes are framed and constructed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conceptualizing Energy Security
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a case study of three European countries and illustrate how the selection of conceptual boundaries along these dimensions determines the outcome of the outcome, leading to the definition of energy security as the continuity of energy supplies relative to demand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing energy security: An overview of commonly used methodologies
TL;DR: An overview of methodologies used for quantitative evaluations of security of supply shows that a broad variety of approaches is used, but that there are still some important gaps, especially if the aim is to study energy security in a future-oriented way.
Determination and Modelling of Energy Consumption in Wheat Production Using Neural Networks
Majeed Safa,Mahdi Safa +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a case study in Canterbury Province, New Zealand of energy consumption in Wheat Production using Neural Networks using Determination and Modelling of Energy Consumption in Wheat production using Neural networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three blind men and an elephant: The case of energy indices to measure energy security and energy sustainability
Kapil Narula,B. Sudhakara Reddy +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared three different indices, viz, "Energy Sustainability Index", "International Index of Energy Security Risk", and "Energy Architecture Performance Index", along with their variants to examine if they provide consistent results for various countries.

The Market for “Lemons”: Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a struggling attempt to give structure to the statement: "Business in under-developed countries is difficult"; in particular, a structure is given for determining the economic costs of dishonesty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy efficiency and consumption — the rebound effect — a survey
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of some of the relevant literature from the US offers definitions and identifies sources including direct, secondary, and economy-wide sources and concludes that the range of estimates for the size of the rebound effect is very low to moderate.

The energy-efficiency gap What does it mean?
Adam B. Jaffe,Robert N. Stavins +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify five distinct notions of optimality: the economists' economic potential, the technologists' technical potential, hypothetical potential, narrow social optimum and true social optimum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Barriers within firms to energy-efficient investments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that government can simultaneously improve overall energy efficiency and increase private sector productivity by providing informational and organizational services that go beyond the traditional regulatory framework, and that the policy implication is that the government can also improve overall EE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy use: the human dimension
Paul C. Stern,Elliot Aronson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the major social and political components of energy policy and highlight the importance of seeing energy problems and solutions in terms of social systems rather than single causes, designing energy systems for adaptability as an alternative to detailed planning, and treating energy policies and programs as the social experiments they are.
