Energy Management—Organizational Technological Innovation of Energy Efficiency

The Induced Innovation Hypothesis and Energy-Saving Technological Change

We develop a methodology for testing Hick’s induced innovation hypothesis by estimating a product-characteristics model of energy-using consumer durables, augmenting the hypothesis to allow for the influence of government regulations. For the products we explored, the evidence suggests: (i) the rate of overall innovation was independent of energy prices and regulations, (ii) the direction of in...

identifying the factors influencing technological innovation system in the field of renewable energy

nowadays clean energy and technological innovation in this field have becomevery important. dynamic innovation and technology development are done by the formation of technological innovation systems and factors influencing thefunctions of system play a key role in the emergence of such systems.considering the lack of previous researches in this area, this research seeks toanswer the question t...

Non-Parametric Energy Use Efficiency, Energy Ratio and Specific Energy for Irrigated Wheat Crop Production

In this paper, non parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was subjected to the energy data of wheat producers in Punjab state, India, and technical, pure technical and scale efficiencies were calculated for farms both category wise and zone wise. The main objective was to determine the strength of the correlation between non-parametric efficiencies and indices such as energy ratio and speci...

Rethinking the Energy-Efficiency Gap: Producers, Intermediaries, and Innovation

The economic justification for energy efficiency policy primarily focuses on market failures and barriers that prevent energy consumers from undertaking privately profitable investments in efficiency. These consumeroriented market imperfections are the subject of a substantial and growing body of research regarding human behaviour and economic incentives that influence the demand for energy-eff...
