This work aims to quantify the relations between the electricity demand and its main determinants in the Industrial sector of Brazil, inthe period between 1974 and 2002. After identifying that the studied series were nonstationary, the use of the Cointegration Approachand an Error-Correction...

This study investigates the short-run dynamics and long-run equilibrium relationship between residential electricity demand and factors influencing demand - per capita income, price of electricity, price of kerosene oil and price of liquefied petroleum gas - using annual data for Sri Lanka for...

In this paper, we test for asymmetric behaviour of industrial and residential electricity demand for the G7 countries, using the entropy-based test for symmetry suggested by [Racine, J., and Maasoumi, E., 2007. A versatile and robust metric entropy test of time-reversibility, and other...

Analizamos el impacto del Covid-19 en los patrones de consumo eléctrico en España. Destacamos la necesidad de descomponer el consumo eléctrico total en consumo de las empresas y de los hogares para comprender mejor el impacto económico y social de la crisis. Si bien la demanda de...

A number of studies have shown that providing point forecasts to decision makers can lead to improved production planning decisions. However, point forecasts do not convey information about the level of uncertainty that is associated with forecasts. In theory, the provision of prediction...

A procedure is proposed for examining different aspects of performance for judgemental directional probability predictions of exchange rate movements. In particular, a range of new predictive performance measures is identified to highlight specific expressions of strengths and weaknesses in...
