This paper deals with the regularity problem in the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) in terms of the boundedness of the budget shares within the [0,1] interval. The violation of "cointegration accounting" can be seen just as another consequence of irregularity. The discussion of modifications...

This paper describes final energy demand for different fuels at a disaggregated level of 12 activities of the economy plus households. The model used combines single equations for total final energy demand with translog functions for inter-fuel substitution. At both stages embodied and...

The paper assesses the economic impact of a toll imposed on heavy-goods vehicles proportional to distance driven. The macroeconomic impact of the toll is estimated by using the disaggregated econometric model MULTIMAC of the Austrian economy. The assumption is that all toll revenues will be...

This paper deals with integrating elements of a bottom-up model of energy demand into a top-down model of total private consumption. The bottom-up elements are represented by the energy efficiency embodied in household appliances. The top-down model describes demand for energy and non-energy...
