Due to the war in Ukraine, the European Commission has released its "Save Gas for a Safe Winter" plan, communicating the goal of reducing gas consumption in the electricity sector, among others. In this paper, the gas consumption in the electricity sector is picked up and the well-established...

This paper proposes a dynamic carbon tax (DCT) that stabilises gasoline prices by adjusting inversely to crude oil prices. Compared to a standard fixed-rate carbon tax, the DCT can be expected to cut more CO2 emissions while receiving greater public support. Therefore, it could be a useful...

This study measured the environmental and energy efficiency of 47 regions in Japan for the period 2005–2017, which was before and after the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) in March 2011, using the slacks-based measure data envelopment analysis model. Our model had comprehensive inputs and...

This paper examines the potential impact of energy consumption and foreign direct investment (FDI) on inclusive growth in 32 Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries from 2000 to 2019. The results from the 2-stage system generalised method of moment (GMM), reveal that energy consumption induces...

Progress in energy equity, income equality, and environmental quality are fundamental to sustainable development. However, studies providing evidence-based recommendations concerning the joint effect of energy equity and income inequality on environmental sustainability in Africa are lacking....

This study contributes by investigating the association between scale, technique and composition effects on energy consumption by considering financial development, oil prices and globalization as potential determinants of economic growth and energy demand. We have applied recent cointegration...

As Africa’s major oil exporter and factor driven stage country, Nigeria has made some progress in socioeconomic terms in recent years. However, large pockets of Nigeria’s population still live in poverty without adequate access to basic services. Currently, Nigeria is capturing just as small...

This work is the product of a study on the energy sector crisis and on the alternative solution offered by nuclear energy. The topic is mainly addressed to those readers interested in knowing some historical and current aspects, legislation and projection of the Colombian energy sector, as well...

This paper presents estimates of the effects that government regulation of diesel and petrol prices has on GDP growth. Theory suggests that when supply curves are convex, a decrease in the regulatory price has a larger effect on output than a tantamount increase. Motivated by this theoretical...

In recent years, sustainable development has emerged as a cornerstone of global development efforts, emphasizing ecological preservation alongside economic growth. Developed countries have long prioritized sustainable practices, integrating environmental conservation, resource management, and...
