interventions on final-use energy consumption, an important driver of carbon emissions. In the model, energy demand is driven by … directed technical change. Energy supply is subject to increasing extraction costs. The model is consistent with aggregate … evidence on energy use, efficiency, and prices in the United States, as well as the standard balanced growth facts. I use the …

Industrial activity periodically experiences breakthrough innovations in energy efficiency, but the estimated impacts … of these innovations on aggregate energy use are highly varied. We develop a general equilibrium model to investigate …-specific energy efficiency improvements affect aggregate energy use through adjustments in factor markets and commodity markets, and a …

While fossil energy dependency has declined and energy supply has grown in the postwar world economy, future resource … scarcity could cast its shadow on world economic growth soon if energy markets are forward looking. We develop an endogenous … growth model that reconciles the current aggregate trends in energy use and productivity growth with the intertemporal …

Our results show that in the long-run energy consumption has a positive significant impact on CO2 emissions.

The aim of this paper is to provide new empirical evidence on the relationship between energy consumption and economic … tests. The countries are divided into two groups: net energy importers and net energy exporters. It is found that there … exists a long-run equilibrium relationship between energy consumption, real GDP, prices, labor and capital for each group of …

The amount of CO2 embedded in trade has substantially increased over the last decades. We study the trends and some drivers of the carbon content of trade over the period 1995-2009. Our main findings are the following. First, the mix of traded goods tends to have higher emission intensity than...

Hamilton (2018) suggests that the Kilian (2009) index of global real economic activity is misleading and calls for alternative measures. The problem documented by Hamilton is a consequence of a coding mistake. Specifically, the index of nominal freight rates underlying the Kilian index was...

We study the efficacy of releases from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) within the context of fully specified models of the global oil market that explicitly allow for storage demand as well as unanticipated changes in the SPR. Using novel identifying strategies and evaluation methods,...

This paper examines the advantages and drawbacks of alternative methods of estimating oil supply and oil demand elasticities and of incorporating this information into structural VAR models. I not only summarize the state of the literature, but also draw attention to a number of econometric...

Limiting global warming to well below 20 C may result in the stranding of carbon-sensitive assets. This could pose substantial threats to financial and macroeconomic stability. We use a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with financial frictions and climate policy to study the risks a...
