This paper provides an empirical estimation of energy efficiency and other proximate factors that explain energy intensity in Australia for the period 1978-2009. The analysis is performed by decomposing the changes in energy intensity by means of energy efficiency, fuel mix and structural...

This paper investigates the long-run and short-run relationships between energy consumption and economic growth in Australia using the bound testing and the ARDL approach. For the first time in the literature we employ both production and demand side models and a unified model comprising both...

This paper revisits the so-called ‘ICT-productivity paradox' from a long-run perspective by using annual Australian data for about five decades. It provides estimates of long-run and short-run elasticities of labour productivity with respect to ICT capital deepening, explores the nature of...

Do an acquirer’s CSR scores impact its post-merger performance in the short and long run? How do relationships among individual CSR pillars affect merger performance? Analysing a global sample of cross-border merger data from 2002 to 2018, we find positive and significant effects of overall...
