This paper provides an information technology perspective of energy that can help explain and promote more environmentally friendly energy sources. Following the equation energy equals mass times velocity squared (E = m * v2), a source 10 times more massive will produce 10 times more energy, but...

It can be said that the global crisis in the world in 2008 deeply affected all states and changed almost all balances. Such crises experienced in the world during this period and possible same crises in the future are important. However, such crises have monetary solutions although they have...

This paper investigates the causal relationship among electricity supply, fossil fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and economic growth in Nigeria for the period 1971-2009, in a multivariate framework.Using the bound test approach to cointegration, we found a short-run as well as a long-run...

India’s fossil fuel based energy-led economic growth has changed its pattern over a time and it is mainly driven by energy efficiency. In this paper, we have considered reduction in energy waste as a proxy of energy efficiency and analyzed its interplay with economic growth for 1971-2010. We...

This paper researches the abnormal information in the WilderHill Clean Energy Index (ECO) and NYSE Arca Technology Index (PSE) by using an autoregressive conditional jump intensity model in Skew Generalized Error Distribution (ARJI-SGED). The research period is from 3 January 2001 to 31 January...

: Review of economic developments in Iran over the past four decades shows that oil revenues have deep and wide impact on economic indicators.

Using monthly data, this paper studies the cointegration between the real price of oil and the real effective exchange rate of US dollar allowing for structural breaks. Contrary to the conclusion from previous literature, this paper finds that the cointegration between the oil price and the...

Due to the structure of Iran’s economy, oil revenues do not have a multi-dimensional role rather than a one-dimensional role in inflation. To put it differently, oil revenues impact inflation through exchange rate, government budget, importation, and importedinflation, monetary base, GDP...
