We develop a spatial model of energy exploitation where energy sources are differentiated by their geographic location … and energy density. The spatial setting creates a scaling law that magnifies the importance of differences across energy … plays must first boom and then bust. For both renewable and non-renewable energy sources we link the size of exploitation …

This paper describes the energy sector in the Mediterranean and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) countries. It first … analyses the production of energy by fossil and renewable sources and discusses the increasing demand in the area and its … consequences. It describes the policy frameworks to promote renewable energy as well as fossil-fuel subsidies, which are still …

This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model … that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of … solution in which only technologies are developed that are appropriate for production of non-energy intensive goods. …
