Efficiency and Environment Impacts of Electricity Restructuring on Coal-Fired Power Plants
Chan, H. Ron - 2013
We investigate the impacts of electricity market restructuring on fuel efficiency, utilization and, new to this area … estimation compares how investor-owned (IOs) plants in states with restructuring changed their behavior relative to IOs in states … without. Our analysis finds that restructuring led to: (1) a two percent improvement in fuel efficiency for IOs, (2) a ten …

Energy Use and Economic Growth in Africa : A Panel Granger-Causality Investigation
Arouri, Mohamed El Hedi - 2014
We make use of a bootstrap panel analysis of causality between energy use and economic growth for a sample of sixteen African countries over the period 1988-2010. Our results show that growth and energy use are strongly linked in Africa. However, African countries are heterogeneous and there is...

The Effectiveness of Taxing Carbon Content of Energy Consumption
Sen, Suphi - 2016
We estimate the long-run effect of a uniform carbon tax on energy consumption by using a new and unique dataset in which effective tax rates of OECD countries are calculated in terms of carbon dioxide emissions. The effective tax rates account for the widely discussed tax deductions for specific...
