This paper reassesses the causal relationship between per capita energy use and gross domestic product, while … between income and energy use. In doing so we contribute to an old debate using modern tools that shed a new light. There is … causality running from capital formation and GDP to energy usage. In the long run the reverse causality, found in recent work …

A factor proportions model examines the effects of falling energy input and its rising price in the US economy based on … separate interaction of energy and labor with capital, estimated with annual data from 1951 to 2008. Energy has a large output … elasticity and inelastic own input demand. A rising energy price lowers the return to capital in the general equilibrium even …
