À cause du cadre réglementaire et des politiques gouvernementales qui s'appliquent à la demande d'énergie, celle-ci a reçu beaucoup d'attention de la part des développeurs de modèles. Dans cet article, je présente un modèle intégré de la demande totale d'énergie. Les principaux...

Energy intensity is the ratio of energy use to output. Most industries deal with several energy sources and outputs. This leads to the usual difficulties of aggregating heterogeneous inputs and outputs. We apply principal components analysis to assess the information derived from six energy...

Après les débats enflammés des années trente, la tarification de l’électricité a occupé peu de place dans ceux portant sur la nationalisation de l’électricité en 1962. La raison principale de cette absence est que le cadre réglementaire élaboré lors de la création de la...

Vertical integration occurs when a transaction between two consecutive stages of production is carried through an internal organisation rather than the market. For most mineral products that are found in Canada, we can observe a fairly high degree of vertical integration from exploration up to...

Hydro-Quebec's electricity rates within its mandated territory increased at the annual rate of 3.8% from 1980 to 1990 despite the fact that there was no growth in the first three years. The government-owned enterprise is rather pessimistic with respect to the expected electricity demand growth...

This paper surveys the changes since 1972 in the federal tax laws applicable to the Canadian mining industry. Using a partial equilibrium model, we analyse the effect of these changes on the relative prices of the factors of production used by the mining firm. Changes in the provincial tax...

A wide range of tests for heteroskedasticity have been proposed in the econometric and statistics literatures. Although a few exact homoskedasticity tests are available, the commonly employed procedures are quite generally based on asymptotic approximations which may not provide good size...
