energy intensity in oil and non-oil exporting countries
Authors
abstract
this paper, examines the factors that influence energy intensity- the ratio of energy consumption to gdp- in 42 oil exporting and none-oil exporting countries in the period 1985 to 2009. the research applies panel data models to analyze the impacts of oil price, gdp, exchange rate, co2 emissions, population, surface area and productivity on energy intensity. an attempt is made in this paper, to asses tfp by using dea software and use both parametric and non-parametric statistics at the same time. the results show in both groups of countries, energy intensity reacts negatively to an increase in gdp and positively to an increase in population and surface area. the results also show that energy intensity responds positively to a hike in exchange rate in oil producing counties and negatively in non-oil exporting countries. jel: c59, o33, q40

Dating Business Cycle in Oil Exporting Countries
In this paper, we empirically investigate the relationship between oil price changes and output in a group of oil exporting countries. The dynamics of business cycles in Libya, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Kuwait, Venezuela and Qatar are modeled by alternative regime switching models. We show that the extension of uni-variate Markov Switching model in order to include oil revenue improves dating busi...

this study examines the impact of oil price shocks on the employment of selected oil-exporting and oil-importing countries. To this end, the annual data for the period 2000-2014 and the econometric models of Christiano and Fitzgerald Filter, Bakstr-King Filter have been used to calculate the oil price shocks and the panel data model is used to estimate the model and data analysis. The results o...
full textTax Evasion in Oil-Exporting Countries: The Case of Iran
N umerous studies have been conducted about the determinants of tax evasion. In all of these studies, this phenomenon has been taken into account in the framework of balanced budget and a non-oil economy. In this study the determinants are examined by extending an endogenous growth model and considering two cases for the government budget in an oil-exporting country along with its budget d...

The downtrend in oil prices beginning in 2014 represents a challenge for smallopen developing and exporting economies like Libya. This stems from the importance of government revenue generated from the natural resource sector in financing government consumption and investment expenditures as well as capital imports. The dependency on the natural resource sector and a relatively weak non-natural...
full textStock Prices , Exchange Rates , and Oil : Evidence from Middle East Oil - Exporting Countries
We consider the linkage between stock prices and exchange rates in four Middle East emerging markets. The existing evidence on stock prices and exchange rates typically relies on introduction of a global market index. On the contrary, we find that for the countries of our sample oil prices emerge as the dominant factor in the above relationship. When we focus on the extended sample we do not de...

This paper tests empirically the Dutch disease macroeconomic dynamics in a set of oil exporting countries. Accordingly, this study was put forth to provide an assessment of the Dutch disease symptoms, by focusing on the link between macroeconomic instability indicators and economic growth. To this end, we assess the risk to real exchange rate, government spending and price stability from the oi...
