An Investigation of Multidimensional Energy Poverty in Pakistan
Awan, Rehmat Ullah; Sher, Falak; Abbas, Akhtar - In: The Pakistan Development Review 52 (2013) 4, pp. 405-419
This study uses Alkire and Foster’s (2007) methodology to measure Multidimensional Energy Poverty in Pakistan using Pakistan Social Living standard Measurement (PSLM) data for 2007-08. This measure also satisfies the property of decomposability. Multidimensional Energy Poverty Index (MEPI) has...

Why market rules matter: Optimizing pumped hydroelectric storage when compensation rules differ
Paine, Nathan; Homans, Frances R.; Pollak, Melisa; … - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 10-19
Policies, markets, and technologies interact to create the modern electrical system. Integrating large amounts of electricity generated by variable renewable resources, such as from wind and sunlight, into electricity systems may require energy storage technologies to synchronize electricity...

The Divisia real energy intensity indices: Evolution and attribution of percent changes in 20 European countries from 1995 to 2010
Fernández González, P.; Landajo, M.; Presno, M.J. - In: Energy 58 (2013) C, pp. 340-349
This paper analyzes the evolution of real energy efficiency in the European Union and the attribution across countries of its percent change. Relying on a multiplicative energy intensity approach that is implemented through the Sato-Vartia Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index method, we decompose the...

Technology gap and China's regional energy efficiency: A parametric metafrontier approach
Lin, Boqiang; Du, Kerui - In: Energy Economics 40 (2013) C, pp. 529-536
This paper analyzes the energy efficiency of China's 30 administrative regions during the period from 1997 to 2010. Most existing studies ignored the variation of production technologies among regions in China. Taking this factor into account, we introduce a parametric metafrontier approach...

MNEs and Energy Efficiency in Southeast Asian Manufacturing
Ramstetter, Eric D.; Binti, Shahrazat; Kohpaiboon, Archanun - In: Asian Economic Papers 12 (2013) 3, pp. 120-147
After controlling for the influences of plant-level factor usage and technical characteristics, foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) used fuel and total energy more efficiently than local manufacturing plants in about one-third of Malaysia's large energy using industries. MNE-local or...
