Can declining energy intensity mitigate climate change? : decomposition and meta-regression results

Bruns, Stephan B.; Gross, Christian - 2012

Drawing on the Kaya identity, we assess the role of the main driver of the decline in carbon intensity, namely the (economic) energy intensity. Using meta-significance testing for a sample of 44 studies, dealing with the causality between energy and GDP, we find that both variables are strongly...

Energy price shocks and the macroeconomy : the role of consumer durables

Dhawan, Rajeev (contributor); Jeske, Karsten (contributor) - 2006

So far, the literature on dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models with energy price shocks uses energy on the production side only. In these models, energy shocks are responsible for only a negligible share of output fluctuations. We study the robustness of this finding by explicitly...
