Distributional Equity in the Employment and Wage Impacts of Energy Transitions
Gilbert, Benjamin; Gagarin, Hannah; Hoen, Ben - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
We use restricted-access, geocoded data on the near-universe of workers in 23 U.S. states in order to quantify the impact of wind energy development on local earnings and employment, by race, ethnicity, sex, and educational attainment. We find the largest relative impacts for workers without a...

Characteristics of a highly efficient propeller type small wind turbine with a diffuser
Matsushima, Toshio; Takagi, Shinya; Muroyama, Seiichi - In: Renewable Energy 31 (2006) 9, pp. 1343-1354
We studied the improved effects a diffuser had on the output power of small wind turbine systems, aiming to introduce … these systems to radio relay stations as an independent power supply system. A frustum-shaped diffuser was chosen from an … economical standpoint and wind speed distribution. The effect the diffuser's shape had on the wind speed was analyzed by …

Dynamic demand for residential electricity in Taiwan under seasonality and increasing-block pricing
Hung, Ming-Feng; Huang, Tai-Hsin - In: Energy Economics 48 (2015) C, pp. 168-177
This paper studies the dynamic demand for residential electricity in Taiwan employing a monthly panel data set, composed of 19 counties and spanning the period from 2007:01 to 2013:12. The partial adjustment model used addresses the endogeneity of the electricity price that results from the...
