This study attempts to predict energy intensities of world's regions, the world gross domestic product per capita and the world energy price via developing VAR (2) model. Whether causalities exist between groups of variables are tested by proceeding Granger Wald Test to structure a VAR model...

In this paper the emphasis is put on the specifics of energy efficiency impact on the profitability of the service sector, with special insight into trade. The theoretical and methodological presentations are illustrated by applying the comparative approach, on the original empirical data of the...

The exponential rise in energy-related carbon emissions poses a severe risk to both human and other species on the earth. The existence of a two-way relationship between economic growth and energy-specific carbon emissions needs to be delinked to achieve a low carbon economy. The current study...

This paper analyzes the spatial and temporal distribution of CO2 emissions intensity and energy intensity in China by using spatial measuring method from 2000 to 2013 and estimates the potential for CO2 emissions reduction. The results obtained in this study include: (1) Both CO2 emissions...

Reducing energy intensity is an important element for Ethiopia to achieve its ambitious climate-resilient growth goals. Understanding the factors that determine energy intensity plays a crucial role for academics and policymakers to formulate sound energy conservation and energy efficiency...

Energy consumption per capita in Qatar reached 17,418 kg of oil equivalent in 2014 which make Qatar one of the biggest energy consumers around the world. Therefore, the Multiscale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem Metabolism (MuSIASEM) approach has been employed to analyze energy...

Energy-intensive sectors face significant challenges in meeting the goals of the new European Industrial Strategy and REPowerEU. This study aims to examine how energy consumption and energy mix in four energy-intensive sectors (primary metals; non-metallic minerals; pulp, paper, and printing;...

This paper addresses the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) ownership mode choice of firms in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) based on three most important theoretical paradigms of IB studies i.e. transaction cost economics, resource based view and institutional theory. The...

This paper aims to identify the actual objectives of monetary authorities in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) that promote an independent monetary policy. In this sense we consider the study of central banks (CBs) behavior in the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania and Hungary in establishing...
