This paper deals with the regularity problem in the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) in terms of the boundedness of the budget shares within the [0,1] interval. The violation of "cointegration accounting" can be seen just as another consequence of irregularity. The discussion of modifications...

Gemäß der Preisstatistik der Europäischen Kommission waren die Kraftstoffpreise in Österreich durchwegs höher als in den Nachbarländern. Die Preisdifferenz kann Standorts- aber auch wettbewerbsbedingt sein. Die Wettbewerbsintensität beeinflußt nicht nur das Preisniveau, sondern auch die...

This paper deals with integrating elements of a bottom-up model of energy demand into a top-down model of total private consumption. The bottom-up elements are represented by the energy efficiency embodied in household appliances. The top-down model describes demand for energy and non-energy...

This paper deals with integrating technology as well as lifestyles as driving forces of energy demand into a model of total private consumption. Private consumption is determined by economic variables like income and prices as well as these other factors. Technology is represented by variables...
