The present paper examines a long-run relationship between the energy, bioenergy and food prices. In the recent years … the bioenergy production has increased significantly around the world. The increase has been driven by rising energy … prices as well as by environmental policies aiming at reducing the harmful effects of conventional sources of energy, such as …

In this paper we examine the effects of energy prices on groundwater extraction using an econometric model of a farmer …’s irrigation water pumping decision that accounts for both the intensive and extensive margins. Our results show that energy prices … have an important effect on both the intensive and extensive margin. Increasing energy prices would affect crop selection …

Kenya is a small open economy that depends on energy for growth. Since independence in 1963, it has experienced … tremendous urban and rural population growth, placing an increasing strain on energy resources and economic development …. Therefore, in this paper the relationship between urban and rural populations, economic development, and energy use is studied …

Dutch greenhouse horticultural firms are energy-intensive and major emitters of greenhouse gases. This paper develops a … theoretically consistent model that is able to describe the greenhouse firms` behaviour regarding energy use and investments in … energy technology. The behaviour of the firm is modelled using a combination of a dynamic cost function and a static profit …

In this paper we examine price transmission for major agriculture (food) and energy products in China for the years … dynamics in the food-energy sector in China. The advantage of this approach is that it can offer data-determined (as opposed to … innovation accounting analysis of the ECM shocks. 2) We uncover a recent price transmission among major food-energy markets in …
