This paper presents results of a meta-regression analysis on empirical estimates of capital-energy substitution. Theoretically it is clear that a distinction should be made between Morishima substitution elasticities and cross-price elasticities. The former represent purely technical...

In this paper I concern the problem of properly specifying the structure of technology of French manufacturing industry, when capital is treated as quasi-fixed input. However instead of choosing a single functional form as an approximation to the variable cost function, modified versions of...

The transport sector offers limited options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as compared with other sectors, such as power generation and industrial sectors. To understand the potential reduction of energy consumption and associated emissions through fuel substitution or transportation service...

ORANI is a general purpose short-run general equilibrium model of the Australian economy. ORANI-LFT extends this basic model to enable examination of tax issues and interfuel substitution in the industrial sector. The extended model is used to illustrate the effects of a substantial switch from...

This paper examines the potential role for fuel substitution in electricity production in reducing carbon dioxide emissions over a ten-year time horizon. This is achieved by adding fuel substitution to output changes resulting from demand responses arising from a tax on carbon dioxide emissions....

Die starken Preissteigerungen für Benzin in den letzten 2 Jahren sind häufig auf mangelnden Wettbewerb zurückgeführt worden. Die These wird überprüft, indem die Wettbewerbsstruktur bei Tankstellen und deren Vorleistungsbeziehungen dargestellt werden und ökonometrische Schätzungen über...
