Changing energy intensity of economies in the world and its decomposition
Wang, Chunhua - In: Energy Economics 40 (2013) C, pp. 637-644
This paper decomposes energy intensity change across countries into five components attributable to technological catch-up, technological progress and changes in capital–energy ratio, labor–energy ratio and output structure. It is found that (1) technological progress, capital accumulation...

Trade-facilitated technology spillovers in energy productivity convergence processes across EU countries
Wan, Jun; Baylis, Kathy; Mulder, Peter - In: Energy Economics 48 (2015) C, pp. 253-264
This empirical paper tests for trade-facilitated spillovers in the convergence of energy productivity across 16 European Union (EU) countries from 1995 to 2005. One might anticipate that by inducing specialization, trade limits the potential for convergence in energy productivity. Conversely, by...

An almost ideal supply system estimate of US energy substitution
Thompson, Alexi - In: Energy Economics 40 (2013) C, pp. 813-818
This paper introduces a Linear Almost Ideal Supply System (LAISS) model to examine aggregate US energy demand. Based on the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model, the LAISS model is a flexible functional form for imposing and testing properties of demand for the inputs of production. Own and...

The effect of urbanization on CO2 emissions in emerging economies
Sadorsky, Perry - In: Energy Economics 41 (2014) C, pp. 147-153
The theories of ecological modernization and urban environmental transition both recognize that urbanization can have positive and negative impacts on the natural environment with the net effect being hard to determine a priori. This study uses recently developed panel regression techniques that...

Electricity intensity across Chinese provinces: New evidence on convergence and threshold effects
Herrerias, M.J.; Liu, G. - In: Energy Economics 36 (2013) C, pp. 268-276
Energy intensity has gone through different stages across Chinese regions. In this paper, we investigate the stochastic electricity-intensity convergence across the Chinese provinces. Unlike previous work, this paper highlights the relevance of the level of technology of each province and takes...

Asymmetric adjustment of the dynamic relationship between energy intensity and urbanization in China
Liu, Yaobin; Xie, Yichun - In: Energy Economics 36 (2013) C, pp. 43-54
This paper provides a comprehensive nonlinear analysis of asymmetric adjustment of the dynamic relationship between energy intensity and urbanization using the time series data of 1978–2010 in China at both the national and the macro regional levels. Two sets of unit root tests are applied...

Multilevel index decomposition analysis: Approaches and application
Xu, X.Y.; Ang, B.W. - In: Energy Economics 44 (2014) C, pp. 375-382
With the growing interest in using the technique of index decomposition analysis (IDA) in energy and energy … limitations of single-level IDA studies which can be addressed through applying multilevel decomposition analysis are discussed …. We then introduce and compare two multilevel decomposition procedures, which are referred to as the multilevel …

Do urbanization and industrialization affect energy intensity in developing countries?
Sadorsky, Perry - In: Energy Economics 37 (2013) C, pp. 52-59
Against a backdrop of concerns about climate change, peak oil, and energy security issues, reducing energy intensity is often advocated as a way to at least partially mitigate these impacts. This study uses recently developed heterogeneous panel regression techniques like mean group estimators...
