What Do Unions Do in Times of Economic Crisis? Evidence from Central and Eastern Europe

Ivlevs, Artjoms; Veliziotis, Michail - 2015

protecting their members from the negative effects of the global economic crisis. Using data for twenty one post … lose their jobs during the crisis. This beneficial effect of trade union membership was more pronounced in countries which … were hit by the crisis harder. At the same time, union members were more likely to experience a wage reduction, suggesting …

The response of macro variables of emerging and developed oil importers to oil price movements

Taghizadeh-Hesary, Farhad; Yoshino, Naoyuki; Hossein … - 2015

This paper assesses the impact of crude oil price movements on two macro variables - the gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate and consumer price index inflation rate - in the developed economies of the United States and Japan, and an emerging economy, the People's Republic of China (PRC)....

Energy intensity: A decomposition and counterfactual exercise for Latin American countries

Jiménez, Raúl; Mercado, Jorge - 2013

This paper investigates trends in energy intensity in Latin American countries over the last 40 years. It applies the Fisher Ideal Index to decompose the energy intensity into the relative contributions of energy efficiency and the activity mix, and then analyzes the determinants of these energy...

Energy savings via FDI? Empirical evidence from developing countries

Hübler, Michael; Keller, Andreas - 2008

In this paper we examine the influence of foreign direct investment inflows on energy intensities of developing countries empirically. We first show that a simple OLS estimation, as it is found in the literature, suggests energy intensity reductions from FDI inflows, which is consistent with the...

Directed technical change and energy intensity dynamics: Structural change vs. energy efficiency

Haas, Christian; Kempa, Karol - 2016

This paper uses a theoretical model with Directed Technical Change to analyse the observed heterogeneous energy intensity developments. Based on the empirical evidence on the underlying drivers of energy intensity developments, we decompose changes in aggregate energy intensity into structural...

Carbon efficiency, technology, and the role of innovation patterns: Evidence from German plant-level microdata

Petrick, Sebastian - 2013

We describe the determinants of energy intensity, carbon intensity, and CO2 emissions in the German manufacturing sector between 1995 and 2007, applying the LMDI index decomposition technique not to aggregate but to micro data. We trace back changes in total CO2 emissions from manufacturing to...

Analysis of CDM experience in Morocco and lessons learnt for West African Economic and Monetary Union. Case study: Benin, Burkina Faso, Niger and Togo

Satoguina, Honorat - 2006

This study assesses the CDM potential in Benin, Burkina Faso, Niger and Togo. Morocco has been used as an example, as it is quite advanced in developing an impressive CDM project portfolio. The study focuses not only on the absolute greenhouse gas abatement potential of these countries, but also...

Dutch Sectoral Energy Intensity Developments in International Perspective, 1987-2005

Mulder, Peter; de Groot, Henri L.F. - 2012

This paper makes use of a new dataset to investigate energy intensity developments in the Netherlands over the period 1987-2005. The dataset allows for a comparison with 18 other OECD countries. A key feature of our analysis is that we combine a cross-country perspective with a high level of...

Can declining energy intensity mitigate climate change? Decomposition and meta-regression results

Bruns, Stephan B.; Gross, Christian - 2012

Drawing on the Kaya identity, we assess the role of the main driver of the decline in carbon intensity, namely the (economic) energy intensity. Using meta-significance testing for a sample of 44 studies, dealing with the causality between energy and GDP, we find that both variables are strongly...

Does foreign aid reduce energy and carbon intensities in developing countries?

Kretschmer, Bettina; Hübler, Michael; Nunnenkamp, Peter - 2010

Advanced OECD countries are widely held responsible to contain global carbon emissions by providing financial and technical support to developing economies, where emissions are increasing most rapidly. It is open to question, however, whether more generous official development assistance would...
