A survey of energy demand elasticities in support of the development of the NEMS
TL;DR: There has been a substantial amount of work on estimating demand elasticities, at various levels of aggregation using a variety of models as mentioned in this paper, and a critical analysis of them, attempt to come up with summary elasticities.

Substitution between Clean and Dirty Energy Inputs: A Macroeconomic Perspective
TL;DR: In this article, the elasticity of substitution between clean and dirty energy inputs within the energy aggregate is a central parameter in assessing the necessary conditions for long-run green growth, and the authors present evidence that it significantly exceeds unity, a favorable condition for promoting green growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
A data envelopment analysis of the levels and determinants of coal-fired electric power generation performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply nonparametric measurement techniques to plant-specific information to measure cost efficiency opportunities for coal-fired electric generation facilities and consider the influence that fuel type, technology, vintage and size has on operating efficiency.

Fossil fuel flexibility in west European power generation and the impact of system load factors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed short run interfuel substitution in west European power generation, and the impact of system load factors on fossil fuel choice, within a restricted translog cost share model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fuel switching and climate and energy policies in the European power generation sector: A generalized Leontief model
TL;DR: In this article, the role and the nature of price-induced switching behavior between fossil fuels (i.e., coal, oil, and natural gas) in the western European power sector, as well as the fuel choice impacts of a number of public policies implemented in this sector during the last 20 years is analyzed.

Transcendental logarithmic production frontiers
TL;DR: Ebsco as mentioned in this paper focuses on additive and homogeneous production possibility frontiers that have played an important role in formulating statistical tests of the theory of production and characterizes the class of production possibility frontier that are homogeneous and additive.

Engineering and econometric interpretations of energy-capital complementarity
Ernst R. Berndt,David O. Wood +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical and empirical interpretation of E-K complementarity consistent with basic microeconomics and with the manufacturing process engineering evidence of energy and capital substitutability is presented.

Parametric Productivity Measurement and Choice Among Flexible Functional Forms
Ernst R. Berndt,Mohammed Khaled +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a nonhomothetic, nonneutral generalized Box-Cox cost function is employed which takes on the generalized Leontief, generalized square-root quadratic, and translog cost functions as special or limiting cases.

Modeling and measuring natural resource substitution
Ernst R. Berndt,Barry C. Field +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of recent research on the empirical issues of resource substitution and/or technological change measurements can be found in this paper, where the authors examine the long-term issue of growth vitality as well as short-term issues of sectoral economic dislocations caused by rising resource prices.
