On the Non-Convergence of Energy Intensities : Evidence from a Pair-Wise Econometric Approach
LePen, Yannick - 2017
This paper evaluates convergence of energy intensities for a group of 97 countries in the period 1971-2003. Convergence … growth convergence. Journal of Econometrics 138, 312-355.] based on the stochastic convergence criterion. Main advantages of … this method are that results do not depend on a benchmark against which convergence is assessed, and that it is more robust …

Dynamics and determinants of energy intensity in the service sector : a cross-country analysis, 1980–2005
Mulder, Peter; Groot, Henri L. F. de; 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...

Chapter 8. Energy, the Environment and US Economic Growth
Jorgenson, Dale W.; Goettle, Richard J.; Ho, Mun S.; … - In: Handbook of computable general equilibrium modeling : …, (pp. 477-552). 2013
The point of departure for the study of the impact of energy and environmental policies is the neoclassical theory of economic growth formulated by Cass (1965) and Koopmans (1967). The long-run properties of economic growth models are independent of energy and environmental policies. However,...

Energy efficiency and industrial output : the case of the iron and steel industry
Flues, Florens; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G.; Vögele, Stefan - 2013
The iron and steel industry is one of the most carbon emitting and energy consuming sectors in Europe. At the same time this sector is of high economic importance for the European Union. Therefore, while public environmental and energy policies target this sector, there is political concern that...
