This analysis provides an international perspective geared towards understanding the future demands being placed on the world's electricity system. It focuses upon the household or residential demand for electricity in a number of high-income and middle-income countries that may raise power...

Energy leapfrogging may have critical implications for a world that seeks to reduce its fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions, and in which most future economic growth will be concentrated in rapidly growing, industrializing countries rather than in more mature economies. The current...

This paper considers a recently developed consumption-based carbon emissions database from which emissions calculations are made based on the domestic use of fossil fuels plus the embodied emissions from imports minus exports, to test directly for the importance of trade in national emissions....

This paper analyzes whether temperature changes influence economic growth in the contiguous 48 US states by employing panel methods that address both heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence. Ultimately, it is determined that the negative effect of warming (proxied by cooling degree days) is...

Energy intensity in the OECD manufacturing sector has been falling since the oil crises in the 1970s. Studies in energy intensity identified that spatial considerations are important, and there exists a great deal of heterogeneity in energy intensities amongst countries and sectors. This paper...

Energy efficiency is essential for reducing energy consumption, increasing energy security, and reducing CO2 emissions. This paper uses stochastic frontier analysis applied to a large panel data set of 81 OECD and non-OECD countries covering the years 1980 to 2013 to estimate energy efficiency....

By employing dynamic panel models we estimate the price and output elasticities of aggregate industrial electricity demand for OECD and non-OECD countries. The unbalanced data span 1978-2016 and include 35 OECD/hi-income countries and 30 non-OECD/middle-income countries, and our dynamic panel...

Understanding the income/GDP and price elasticities of electricity demand is important for forecasting demand and evaluation of the potential impact of policies. Yet, there has been little work on this topic that focuses on countries outside the OECD. We employ a new database of cross-country...

Understanding the income/GDP and price elasticities of energy/electricity demand is important for forecasting demand and evaluation of the potential impact of policies. Recent work on the GDP elasticity of economy-wide electricity demand has suggested that this elasticity is both substantially...

This paper bridges (i) estimations from papers circa 1968 and 1972 of the GDP elasticity of economy-wide energy demand that used data from the 1950s and early-1960s and our own observation-restricted estimations covering 1960-1973 to (ii) our new mean group-based, common correlated effects...
