This paper attempts to quantify the impact of fragmentation on employment. Factor demand functions for labour and intermediates and mark up price equations derived from a Generalized Leontief cost function at industry level are estimated. Import prices and output prices influence the price of...

This paper describes interfuel substitution for coal, oil, gas and electricity at a level of 12 activities. We use cross section data in each activity for appliance technologies (heating/cooling, steam generation, industrial processes, motors and lighting/computing) to estimate fuel input demand...

This paper sets up a model of private consumption for selected EU countries with special emphasis on the consumption categories heating and transport. Sustainable consumption patterns require a "decoupling" of energy or materials use from satisfaction of consumers' needs and demands. Starting...

This study uses time-series techniques and econometric approaches in order to quantify the effects that organising an EU presidency has on the tourism exports of a country. The approach to explain tourism revenues by a time-series intervention model filters out special effects (data...
