This paper evaluates changes in electricity generation costs caused by the introduction of market mechanisms to determine production United States. I use staggered transition markets from 1999 2012 estimate causal impact liberalization using a differences-in-difference design on comprehensive hourly panel demand, generators’ costs, capacities, and output. find that reduce 5 percent reallocating...

Hip fracture is the most devastating osteoporotic fracture type with significant morbidity and mortality. Several studies in humans and animal models identified chromosomal regions linked to hip size and bone mass. Previously, we identified that the region of 4q21-q41 on rat chromosome (Chr) 4 harbors multiple femoral neck quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in inbred Fischer 344 (F344) and Lewis (L...

Changes in global development benchmarks, the gradual depletion of natural resources, as well climatic changes are forcing economic actors around world to look for alternative methods energy production. The transition them can be difficult due high cost produced and pressure from states corporations specializing extraction classical sources. article is devoted study renewable energy. uses a sta...

Accurate modeling of multicomponent sorption and transport of major cations in subsurface porous media is a prerequisite for predicting complex environmental processes, such as the movement of trace metals in soils and aquifers. In this study, various cation exchange models were compared in their ability to predict ternary Ca–Mg–Na transport in an acidic soil from binary Ca, Mg, and Na adsorpti...

Information provision is a key element of government energy-efficiency policy, but the information that is provided is often too coarse to allow consumers to make efficient decisions. An important example is the ubiquitous yellow “EnergyGuide” label, which is required by law to be displayed on all major appliances sold in the United States. These labels report energy cost information based on a...

This paper employs quantile panel regression to the study of fuel price elasticities. Contrasting with standard panel approaches, this method reveals the impact of explanatory variables across all points in the conditional distribution of the response variable while controlling for unobserved heterogeneity. Applying quantile panel regression to German household data demonstrates that fuel price...

Testing cyclicality of fiscal policy is pertinent in any country to observe its type with the business cycle. In oil abundant economy, price and trade openness may also play a role determining cyclicality. This research probes economic growth, openness, on government consumption growth verify Saudi Arabia from 1971 2018. The cointegration test Pesaran (2001) utilized hypothesis augmented critic...

Using the most recently available data, this paper estimates the price and income elasticities of gasoline demand in the United States from a semiparametric smooth coefficient model. The econometric approach provides more flexibility by allowing functional coefficients to accommodate heterogeneity in gasoline demand. Instrumental variables are used to correct for the potential endogeneity of th...

“Nudge”-style interventions are typically evaluated on the basis of their effects on behavior, not social welfare. We use a field experiment to measure the welfare effects of one especially policy-relevant intervention, home energy conservation reports. We measure consumer welfare by sending introductory reports and using an incentive-compatible multiple price list to determine willingness-to-p...

This paper aims to examine the impacts of oil-price shocks on China’s price levels. To that end, we develop a partial transmission input-output model that captures the uniqueness of the Chinese market. We hypothesize and simulate price control, market factors and technology substitution the three main factors that restrict the functioning of a price pass-through mechanism during oil-price shock...
