Factors Affecting Energy Demand in Developing Countries: A Dynamic Panel Analysis
Aziz, Azlina Abd.; Mustapha, Nik Hashim Nik; Ismail, Roslina - In: International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy 3 (2013) Special, pp. 1-1
This work presents an empirical study of energy demand, in which demand for energy is expressed as a function of various factors, such as income, price, economic structure, and CO2 emission. Parameter values are estimated econometrically, using a panel data approach of 16 developing countries...

Revisiting the Price Elasticity of Gasoline Demand
Romero, Alfredo A. - Department of Economics, College of William & Mary - 2007
In this document, we investigate the evolution of the income elasticity and the price elasticity of the demand for gasoline over the period 1975-2006. By using the Probabilistic Reduction Approach, we were able to model changes in mean heterogeneity and variance heterogeneity directly into the...

Estimation of Elasticity Price of Electricity with Incomplete Information
Labandeira, Xavier; Labeaga, José M.; López-Otero, Xiral - Economics for Energy - 2010
The sharp increase in energy prices and growing concern on environmental issues, among other things, are behind the renewed interest in energy demand estimation. However, there is sparce academic literature that takes the real situation of energy suppliers into account: high quality but...

A Panel Data Analysis of Electric Consumptions in the Residential Sector
Statzu, V.; Strazzera, E. - Centro Ricerche Nord Sud (CRENoS) - 2008
The present work analyses a dataset on electricity consumption in an Italian region for a period of 11 years, using aggregated data on municipalities. Our aim is to estimate the value of the price elasticity, of the income elasticity and cross-price elasticity of other fuels and to analyse the...

Too Hot to Handle? Benefits and costs of stimulating the use of biofuels in the Swedish Heating Sector
Brännlund, Runar; Kriström, Bengt - Institutionen för Nationalekonomi, Umeå Universitet - 1999
This paper evaluates the impact of changes in current Swedish energy taxation by analyzing a panel of approximately 150 district heating plants in Sweden. We estimate plant-specific production functions and derive the economic repercussions of the tax. We also estimate the resulting changes of...

Beyond the Average Elasticity – Applying Quantile Panel Regression to German Household Mobility Data
Ritter, Nolan - Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für … - 2012
This paper employs quantile panel regression to the study of fuel price elasticities. Contrasting with standard panel approaches, this method reveals the impact of explanatory variables across all points in the conditional distribution of the response variable while controlling for unobserved...

A revisited gravity equation in trade flow analysis: an application to the case of Tunisian olive oil exports
Angulo, A. M.; Mtimet, N.; Dhehibi, B.; Atwi, M.; Ben … - In: INVESTIGACIONES REGIONALES - Journal of REGIONAL RESEARCH (2011) 21, pp. 225-239
This study revisits the utility of gravity models in the analysis of the principal determinants of exports. Traditional cross-sectional models are improved by considering the effect of omitted variables and/or the dynamic of trade flows through the use of spatial econometric techniques and panel...

Fixed-Effect Estimation of Highly-Mobile Production Technologies
Horrace, William C.; Schnier, Kurt E. - Center for Policy Research, Maxwell School - 2008
Revised from November 2006 and July 2007. We consider fixed-effect estimation of a production function where inputs and outputs vary over time, space, and cross-sectional unit. Variability in the spatial dimension allows for time-varying individual effects, without parametric assumptions on the...
