Energy use and economic growth in Africa: a panel Granger-causality investigation

Arouri, Mohamed El Hedi; Youssef, Adel Ben; M'Henni, Hatem - In: Economics Bulletin 34 (2014) 2, pp. 1247-1258

We make use of a bootstrap panel analysis of causality between energy use and economic growth for a sample of sixteen African countries over the period 1988-2010. Our results show that growth and energy use are strongly linked in Africa. However, African countries are heterogeneous and there is...

Switching to biomass co-firing in European coal power plants: Estimating the biomass and CO2 breakeven prices

Bertrand, Vincent - In: Economics Bulletin 33 (2013) 2, pp. 1535-1546

This paper investigates the cost of biomass co-firing in European coal plants. We propose an original method to get expressions of biomass and CO2 breakeven points: carbon switching price and biomass switching price. They correspond to carbon and biomass prices that make coal plants equally...
