Combining Climate and Energy Policies: Synergies or Antagonism? Modeling Interactions With Energy Efficiency Instruments
Lecuyer, Oskar; Bibas, Ruben - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
In addition to the already present Climate and Energy package, the European Union (EU) plans to include a binding target to reduce energy consumption. We analyze the rationales the EU invokes to justify such an overlapping and develop a minimal common framework to study interactions arising from...

Residential Consumption of Gas and Electricity in the U.S.: The Role of Prices and Income
Alberini, Anna; Gans, Will; Velez-Lopez, Daniel - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
We study residential demand for electricity and gas, working with nationwide household-level data that cover recent years, namely 1997-2007. Our dataset is a mixed panel/multi-year cross-sections of dwellings/households in the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the United States as of 2008. To our...

Inflationary Effect of Oil-Price Shocks in an Imperfect Market: A Partial Transmission Input-output Analysis
Wu, Libo; Li, Jing; Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
This paper aims to examine the impacts of oil-price shocks on China’s price levels. To that end, we develop a partial transmission input-output model that captures the uniqueness of the Chinese market. We hypothesize and simulate price control, market factors and technology substitution - the...

A Trend Deduction Model of Fluctuating Oil Prices
Xu, Haiyan; Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
Crude oil prices have been fluctuating over time and by a large range. It is the disorganization of oil price series that makes it difficult to deduce the changing trends of oil prices in the middle- and long-terms and predict their price levels in the short-term. Following a price-state...

Smart Meter Devices and The Effect of Feedback on Residential Electricity Consumption: Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Northern Ireland
Gans, Will; Alberini, Anna; Longo, Alberto - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
Using a unique set of data and exploiting a large-scale natural experiment, we estimate the effect of real-time usage information on residential electricity consumption in Northern Ireland. Starting in April 2002, the utility replaced prepayment meters with “smart” meters that allow the...

Energy Access Scenarios to 2030 for the Power Sector in Sub-Saharan Africa
Bazilian, Morgan; Nussbaumer, Patrick; Rogner, Hans-Holger - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
In order to reach a goal of universal access to modern energy services in Africa by 2030, consideration of various electricity sector pathways is required to help inform policy-makers and investors, and help guide power system design. To that end, and building on existing tools and analysis, we...
