Economic development and the structure of the demand for commerial energy
(MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, 1998.)To deepen the understanding of the relation between economic development and energy demand, this study estimates the Engel curves that relate per-capita energy consumption in major economic sectors to per-capita GDP. Panel ... -
Household gasoline demand in the United States
(MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, 1995)Continuing rapid growth in U.S. gasoline consumption threatens to exacerbate environmental and congestion problems. We use flexible semiparametric and nonparametric methods to guide analysis of household gasoline consumption, ... -
Panel data analysis of U.S. coal productivity
(MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, 2000)We analyze labor productivity in coal mining in the United States using indices of productivity change associated with the concepts of panel data modeling. This approach is valuable when there is extensive heterogeneity ... -
A regression test of semiparametric index model specification
(MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, 1992)This paper presents a simple regression test of parametric and semiparametric index models against more general semiparametric and nonparametric alternative models. The test is based on the regression coefficient of the ... -
A regression test of semiparametric index model specifications
(MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, 1993)This paper presents a straightforward regression test of parametric and semiparametric index models against more general semiparametric and nonparametric alternative models. The test is based on the regression coefficient ... -
Semiparametric measurement of environmental effects
(MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, 1993)This paper gives the results of a semiparametric analysis of pollution effects on housing prices using the Boston Housing Data. The exposition introduces the basic ideas of modeling pollution impacts with hedonic price ... -
Sources of productivity growth in the American coal industry
(MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, 1998)This paper develops new techniques to assess the expanse of the geographic market under varying supply and demand conditions and applies these techniques to the current wholesale electricity market in the western United ... -
World energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions : 1950-2050
(MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, 1995)Emissions of carbon dioxide form combustion of fossil fuels, which may contribute to long-term climate change, are projected through 2050 using reduced form models estimated with national-level panel data for the period ...
