substantially explained by the market value of energy efficiency, as estimated in “Evidence of Rational Market Values for Home … Energy Efficiency,” which appeared in the October 1998 issue of The Appraisal Journal. …

Shocks to the demand for housing that originate in one region may seem important only for that regional housing market …. We provide evidence that such shocks can also affect housing markets in other regions. Our analysis focuses on the … response of Canadian housing markets to oil price shocks. Oil price shocks constitute an important source of exogenous regional …

To investigate the link between rising global temperature and global energy use, we estimate an energy demand model …-linearities in the impact of temperature on energy demand as well as temperature-income interactions. We find that oil, gas and … electricity use are driven by a non-linear heating effect: Energy use not only decreases with rising temperatures due to a reduced …

We provide evidence that such shocks can also affect housing markets in other regions. Our analysis focuses on the … response of Canadian housing markets to oil price shocks.

This paper describes an energy efficient housing stimulus strategy that can: (1) quickly provide large-scale job … recently announced partnership between the Departments of Energy (DOE) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to streamline … creation; (2) reduce home energy bills by 30% to 50% with associated reductions in emissions and energy assistance spending; (3 …

This paper describes the energy sector in the Mediterranean and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) countries. It first … analyses the production of energy by fossil and renewable sources and discusses the increasing demand in the area and its … consequences. It describes the policy frameworks to promote renewable energy as well as fossil-fuel subsidies, which are still …

seen on the demand-side and the supply-side. Main demand-side policies could be the following: energy saving and efficiency … factors that could affect described policies could be the liberalization of international trade even in the energy sector and …

Persistently rising energy prices have revived interest in the economic impact of changing energy costs. We explore the … differential results from the respective technological opportunities for substituting energy for labor in each of the sectors. To … energy costs, the substitution incentives are likely to fade out. Such a development might put the future of the service …
