Energy consumption, economic growth and CO2 emissions in Middle East and North African Countries

Arouri, Mohamed; BenYoussef, Adel; M'Henni, Hatem; … - 2012

This article extends the recent findings of Liu (2005), Ang (2007), Apergis et al. (2009) and Payne (2010) by implementing recent bootstrap panel unit root tests and cointegration techniques to investigate the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, and real GDP for 12...

Achieving sustainable energy security : 2030 outlook for ASEAN, People Republic of China and India

Fan, Ying; Bhattacharyay, Biswanath - 2015

The rapid growth of ASEAN economies, the People's Republic of China and India (called ACI henceforth) - major drivers of Asia and the world economy - during the last five decades has caused significant strains on their scarce resources, particularly energy and contributed to serious problems of...

The effectiveness of taxing carbon content of energy consumption

Sen, Suphi; Vollebergh, Herman R. J. - 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...

Airline fuel usage and carbon emissions : determining factors

Brueckner, Jan K.; Abreu, Chrystyane - 2016

Using annual data on individual US airlines over the 1995-2015 period, this paper presents regression results relating an airline's total fuel usage to seven variables: the available ton miles of capacity (passengers plus freight and mail) provided by the airline; the average seat capacity of its...

Electricity use as a real time indicator of the economic burden of the COVID-19-related lockdown : evidence from Switzerland

Janzen, Benedikt; Radulescu, Doina - 2020

We employ hourly electricity load data for Switzerland as a real time indicator of the economic effects of the lockdown following the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Our ﬁndings reveal that following the drastic lockdown, overall electricity use decreased by 4 per cent, with a reduction of even 11.3 per...

Complementary inputs and industrial development : can lower electricity prices improve energy efficiency?

Singer, Gregor - 2024

The transition from traditional labor intensive to modern capital intensive production is a key factor for industrial development. Using half a million observations from Indian manufacturing plants, I analyze the effects of a secular decrease in industrial electricity prices through the lens of...

Energy use and economic growth in Africa : a panel Granger-causality investigation

Arouri, Mohamed; BenYoussef, Adel; M'Henni, Hatem; … - 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...

Food prices and the multiplier effect of export policy

Giordani, Paolo E.; Rocha, Nadia; Ruta, Michele - 2012

This paper studies the relationship between export policy and food prices. We show that, when individuals are loss averse, food exporters may use trade policy to shield the domestic economy from large price shocks. This creates a complementarity between the price of food in international markets...

Monopolistic competition, efficiency wages and perverse effects of demand shock

Malley, James R.; Molana, Hassan - 2001

In this paper we construct a stylised general equilibrium macromodel to show that demand led expansions may have unexpected effects when market imperfections lead to changes in labour productivity. We find some empirical support, from a number of European countries, for the main predictions of...
