The Symptoms of Illness: Does Israel Suffer from “Dutch Disease”?

“…This demand appreciates the domestic currency, causing domestic goods to become expensive compared to foreign goods. Consequently, the country's international competitiveness suffers, hampering its exports of other goods and services [10]. Nevertheless, it is difficult to separate Dutch disease effects from the domestic and international macroeconomic conditions prevailing at the time of the shock.…”

Gas pipeline infrastructure and economic growth of Russian regions: panel cointegration analysis

“…Model. A basic approach to such studies provides for the use of an extended aggregate production function, where energy consumption is an independent production factor ( [4,5,12,20]). In addition, the choice of parameters should be consistent with the available information.…”

Integrating Methods and Empirical Findings from Social and Behavioural Sciences into Energy System Models—Motivation and Possible Approaches

“…[100] provides an overview of social science determinants that influence the investment decisions of private and corporate actors. According to economic theory, the investment behaviour of a consumer can be explained by an increased utility compared to the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the consumer product [101]. Besides the primary utility, e.g., the generated heat by heating technologies, the utility created by a product can also be increased or decreased by other influences, e.g., the reduction in CO 2 emissions (e.g., due to environmental consciousness) or the consumer's image.…”

“…To measure the preferences regarding new technologies entering the market, experimental approaches based on stated preferences are often applied. In particular, methods like DCE, where the respondent chooses between different products with different levels of the same attributes, are often used [101]. The results for the preference characteristics can be evaluated individually as, e.g., in [106,107], or used in other models such as diffusion models, e.g., [108,109].…”
