This paper provides an empirical analysis of the determinants of energy efficiency in fossil fuel electricity generation across 28 OECD countries over the period 1981-2006, with particular attention to the role played by technological development and the availability of energy efficient...

I provide evidence about the effects of induced biased technical change as a main determinant of solar and wind energies adoption. This study presents an empirical framework based on an input demand function for electricity production. Implementing this model helps us to understand what is...

How will the introduction of electricity market competition affect power generation and transmission technology? Which technologies are most likely to receive a push from competitive markets? These are the questions examined in this review, which considers a wide range of options in both...
