On the Non-Convergence of Energy Intensities : Evidence from a Pair-Wise Econometric Approach
Le Pen, Yannick - 2017
This paper evaluates convergence of energy intensities for a group of 97 countries in the period 1971-2003. Convergence … growth convergence. Journal of Econometrics 138, 312-355.] based on the stochastic convergence criterion. Main advantages of … this method are that results do not depend on a benchmark against which convergence is assessed, and that it is more robust …

Dynamics and determinants of energy intensity in the service sector : a cross-country analysis, 1980–2005
Mulder, Peter; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Pfeiffer, Birte - 2013
We present a detailed analysis of energy intensity developments across 23 service sectors in 18 OECD countries over the period 1980-2005. We find that the shift towards a service economy has contributed to lower overall energy intensity levels in the OECD, but this contribution would have been...

Modelling the Nexus between Pollutant Emission, Energy Consumption, Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth : New Insights from China
Magazzino, Cosimo - 2020
Most nations are predominately preoccupied with the need to increase economic growth amidst pressure for increased energy consumption. However, higher energy consumption from fossil fuel has its environmental implication(s) especially in a high industrial economy like China. In this context, the...

Oil price and economic growth : a long story?
Gadea, María Dolores; Gómez-Loscos, Ana; Montañés, … - In: Econometrics : open access journal 4 (2016) 4, pp. 1-28
This study investigates changes in the relationship between oil prices and the US economy from a long-term perspective. Although neither of the two series (oil price and GDP growth rates) presents structural breaks in mean, we identify different volatility periods in both of them, separately....

Cross-Country Evidence on Output Growth Volatility : Nonstationary Variance and Garch Models
Fang, Wen-Shwo; Miller, Stephen M.; Lee, Chun-Shen - 2009
This paper revisits the issue of conditional volatility in real GDP growth rates for Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Previous studies find high persistence in the volatility. This paper shows that this finding largely reflects a nonstationary variance. Output growth in...

The Great Moderation and the Relationship between Output Growth and its Volatility
Fang, Wen-Shwo; Miller, Stephen M. - 2008
This study examines the effect of the Great Moderation on the relationship between U.S. output growth and its volatility over the period 1947 to 2006. First, we consider the possible effects of structural change in the volatility process. In so doing, we employ GARCH-M and ARCH-M specifications...
