This paper applies a recent advance in panel analysis to estimate the panel cointegration and panel vector error correction models for a set of 22 OECD countries using annual data covering the period 1960-2001. We investigate the relationship between energy consumption and income using an...

This study applies a non-linear model, i.e. the recently developed panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model, and takes into account the potential endogeneity biases to investigate the demand function of electricity for 24 OECD countries from the period 1978-2004. Our empirical results...

Since most real decisions depend upon current market states or whether it is advantageous to the participants themselves, this paper revisits the relationship between spot and futures oil prices of West Texas Intermediate covering 1986 to 2009 with an innovative approach named quantile...

This paper applies an aggregate production function to examine the dynamic linkages among energy consumption, capital stock, and real income (real GDP per capita) in G-7 counties. We employ the Toda and Yamamoto (1995) Granger causality test, the generalized impulse response approach, and...

This paper explores whether the hypothesis of energy consumption stationarity is supported in different regions. The stationarity properties indicate that the impact of a reduction in energy consumption or a realignment policy is only temporary, and over time the series will revert back to the...

This study utilizes the Johansen cointegration technique, the Granger non-causality test of Toda and Yamamoto (1995), the generalized impulse response function, and the generalized forecast error variance decomposition to examine the dynamic interrelationship among nuclear energy consumption,...

This paper examines the effect of structural breaks on the spot–futures oil prices relationship. We explore the impact of structural breaks on four critical issues, including cointegrating relationships, market efficiency under the expectation hypothesis and the no arbitrage rule, causalities,...
