Given the importance of the environment around the world and its accelerating destruction
brought on by the increase in emissions resulting from the growing use of various forms of …

Improvements in energy efficiency make energy services cheaper, and therefore encourage
increased consumption of those services. This so-called direct rebound effect offsets the …

Experts predict that new automobiles will be capable of driving themselves under limited
conditions within 5–10 years, and under most conditions within 10–20 years. Automation …

Traditional approaches to structural vector autoregressions (VARs) can be viewed as
special cases of Bayesian inference arising from very strong prior beliefs. These methods …

Price elasticities of energy demand have become increasingly relevant in estimating the
socio-economic and environmental effects of energy policies or other events that influence …

Studies identifying oil shocks using structural vector autoregressions (VARs) reach different
conclusions on the relative importance of supply and demand factors in explaining oil …

Illuminants, lubricants, and solvents in the 1850s were obtained from a variety of sources,
such as oil from lard or whales, alcohol from agricultural products, and turpentine from wood …

This paper explores similarities and differences between the run-up of oil prices in 2007-08
and earlier oil price shocks, looking at what caused the price increase and what effects it …

This paper examines the factors responsible for changes in crude oil prices. The paper
reviews the statistical behavior of oil prices, relates this to the predictions of theory, and …

The rebound effect results in part from an increased consumption of energy services
following an improvement in the technical efficiency of delivering those services. This …
