Exploring the impacts of a carbon tax on the Chinese economy using a CGE model with a detailed disaggregation of energy sectors
Guo, Zhengquan; Zhang, Xingping; Zheng, Yuhua; Rao, Rao - In: Energy Economics 45 (2014) C, pp. 455-462
This paper applies a computable general equilibrium model to investigate the impacts of a carbon tax on China's economy and carbon emissions based on China's 2010 Input–Output Table. To obtain robust simulation results, we further disaggregate the energy sectors into eight departments...

Will history repeat itself? Economic convergence and convergence in energy use patterns
Jakob, Michael; Haller, Markus; Marschinski, Robert - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 1, pp. 95-104
In this paper, a difference-in-differences estimator on panel data for 30 developing and 21 industrialized countries is employed over the period 1971–2005 to examine how patterns of energy use (characterized by the consumption of primary energy carriers, sectoral energy use and carbon...

The impact of the household decision environment on fuel choice behavior
van der Kroon, Bianca; Brouwer, Roy; Beukering, Pieter … - In: Energy Economics 44 (2014) C, pp. 236-247
Consumer preferences for fuels and alternative cookstove technologies in Kenya are examined, focusing on household internal and external determinants driving choice behavior in a choice experiment. The potential for a transition towards cleaner and more efficient fuels and technologies is...

Modeling international trends in energy efficiency
Stern, David I. - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 6, pp. 2200-2208
I use a stochastic production frontier to model energy efficiency trends in 85 countries over a 37-year period. Differences in energy efficiency across countries are modeled as a stochastic function of explanatory variables and I estimate the model using the cross-section of time-averaged data,...

Foreign Direct Investment and Inclusive Green Growth in Africa: Energy Efficiency Contingencies and Thresholds
Ofori, Isaac K; Gbolonyo, Emmanuel Y.; Ojong, Nathanael - In: Energy Economics (2022), pp. 1-58
Despite the growing number of empirical studies on foreign direct investment (FDI) and energy efficiency (EE) as they relate to green growth, there remains an empirical research gap with respect to whether EE can engender positive synergy with FDI to foster inclusive green growth (IGG) in...

Technology spillovers embodied in international trade: Intertemporal, regional and sectoral effects in a global CGE framework
Parrado, Ramiro; De Cian, Enrica - In: Energy Economics 41 (2014) C, pp. 76-89
This paper uses a dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model to assess the intertemporal and spatial dimension of technology spillovers embodied in international trade. Three are the main contributions of the study. First, link capital- and energy-productivity to machinery and equipment...

Structural decomposition analysis applied to energy and emissions: Some methodological developments
Su, Bin; Ang, B.W. - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 1, pp. 177-188
The only comprehensive study comparing structural decomposition analysis (SDA) and index decomposition analysis (IDA) was conducted around 2000. There have since been new developments in both techniques in energy and emission studies. These developments have been studied systematically for IDA...

Co-fluctuation patterns of per capita carbon dioxide emissions: The role of energy markets
McKitrick, Ross; Wood, Joel - In: Energy Economics 39 (2013) C, pp. 1-12
This paper applies principal component analysis to investigate the linkages, or dominant co-fluctuation patterns, of per capita carbon dioxide emissions across countries for the time period 1950–2000. Energy resource world markets are investigated as an offsetting mechanism possibly...
