Modeling the demand for energy using aggregate data – Empirical evidence from the OECD-17

文章摘要

Estimates of aggregate price and income elasticities of energy consumption are often used to support policy design. A noted shortcoming in some previous studies is the lack of heterogeneity being controlled for in the models. Using OECD data, a nonparametric model of demand is specified which allows substantially greater heterogeneity to be described. The analysis, among other things, finds a clear separation of countries that is heavily linked to the energy intensity of an economy. With respect to policy design, this may provide useful insights into the convergence of energy policy and how (as well

as which) different groups of countries might be able to share common policy frameworks and goals.
