The energy-bias of North-South technology spillovers: A global, bilateral, bisectoral trade analysis

Hübler, Michael; Glas, Alexander - 2013

countries and 35 sectors for 1995-2009. We find South-North convergence of energy and labor intensities, an energy bias of … import-driven convergence and no robust difference between imports of intermediate and investment goods. Accordingly, trade …

Dynamics and Determinants of Energy Intensity in the Service Sector: A Cross-Country Analysis, 1980–2005

Mulder, Peter; de Groot, Henri L.F.; Pfeiffer, Birte - 2013

We present a detailed analysis of energy intensity developments across 23 service sectors in 18 OECD countries over the period 1980-2005. We find that the shift towards a service economy has contributed to lower overall energy intensity levels in the OECD, but this contribution would have been...

Testing the Relationships between Energy Consumption, CO₂ emissions and Economic Growth in 24 African Countries: a Panel ARDL Approach

Asongu, Simplice A.; Montasser, Ghassen El; Toumi, Hassen - 2015

This study complements existing literature by examining the nexus between energy consumption (EC), CO2 emissions (CE) and economic growth (GDP) in 24 African countries using a panel ARDL approach. The following findings are established. First, there is a long run relationship between EC, CE and...

Structural breaks in Iron-Ore prices: The impact of the 1973 oil crisis

Angelov, Nikolay - 2006

This paper investigates the time-series properties of the price of iron ore. The focus is on testing a unit-root null hypothesis against a trend-stationary alternative, with a structural break allowed under both hypotheses. We consider unit-root tests with or without structural breaks, applied...

Peeling the onion: Analyzing aggregate, national and sectoral energy intensity in the European Union

Löschel, Andreas; Pothen, Frank; Schymura, Michael - 2015

One of the most promising ways of meeting climate policy targets is improving energy efficiency, i.e. reducing the amount of scarce and polluting resources needed to produce a given quantity of output. This study undertakes an empirical exercise using the World Input-Output Database (WIOD), a...

Exiting the Energy Crisis: Lessons Learned from the Energy Price Cap Policy in France

Rüdinger, Andreas - In: Intereconomics 58 (2023) 1, pp. 5-9

Having had little time to absorb the economic and social shock of the COVID-19 pandemic, the EU is confronted with yet another crisis - rising energy prices due to Russia's war in Ukraine coupled with inflation reaching historic levels. Household burdens vary greatly across and within EU member...

Modern Climate Policy: Moving beyond the market-liberal paradigm

Krebs, Tom - 2023

Traditional climate policy is based on the market-liberal paradigm that relies on carbon pricing, a belief in self-regulating markets, and transfer payments for the so-called "losers" of the transfor- mation process. The market-liberal approach to climate policy is certain to fail because it is...

Energiepolitik: Erfolgreiche Energiewende nur im europäischen Kontext

Hübner, Malte; Schmidt, Christoph M.; Weigert, Benjamin - 2012

In Deutschland besteht seit dem Beschluss des Energiekonzepts der schwarz-gelben Koalition im Jahr 2010 und dem im Jahr 2011 erneut bestätigten Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie ein Konsens, die Stromerzeugung bis zum Jahr 2050 so umzubauen, dass die erneuerbaren Energien daran den Hauptanteil...
