This paper provides new evidence on the convergence process of energy, water and food per capita consumption levels for 108 countries from 1971 to 2018, using a common data set, with VAR and panel data approach. We establish a new notion of multivariate sigma and beta-convergence. The results...

Analysis of market power in electricity markets is relevant for understanding the competitive development of the industry's restructuring and liberalization process. Because the existing literature lacks adequate consideration of line transmission congestion, this paper sets forth a new approach...

The purpose of this paper is to empirically estimate a model of aggregate residential and commercial energy demand elasticities, taking into account capital stock and climate effects. We model a theoretically founded non-linear energy demand system for the most important 117 countries in the...

The promotion of US energy efficiency policy is seen as a very important activity by the Energy Information Agency (EIA). Generally, the level of energy efficiency of a state is approximated by energy intensity, commonly calculated as the ratio of energy use to GDP. However, energy intensity is...
