Technical and economical analysis of an induced demand in the photovoltaic sector

Economic impact of solar thermal electricity deployment in Spain

“…While in the USA focus has been on photovoltaic technologies (Cook, 1998;US DOE, 1992), in Europe there have been various studies aiming to show the positive impacts derived from the deployment of other renewable energy technologies. (Ciorba et al, 2004;Kulišić et al, 2007;Madlener and Koller, 2007;Allan et al, 2008). Germany is the leading country in this regard, with several studies which have analysed the whole energy planning system in an integrated framework (Pfaffenberger et al, 2003;Umweltbundesamt, 2004;BMU, 2004;Hillebrand et al, 2006;Lehr et al, 2008).…”

A simulation of the economic impact of renewable energy development in Morocco

“…Ciorba et al (2004) measured the impact of photovoltaic investment in Morocco in terms of induced production and job creation, using the static I-O methodology. More recently (World Bank, 2011), an application of the JEDI model was used to estimate the impact on GDP, foreign trade and job creation of the development of a local manufacturing industry for CSP components in the MENA region by 2020.…”

“…It is forecast that the Moroccan economy will experience deep change in its internal and external economic linkages in terms of the production structure. In order to capture this evolution dynamics in the simulation system, we start with the classic I-O model framework in its traditional implementation (see Ciorba et al, 2004 andCaldés et al, 2009) but, in order to avoid the constraints of the static point of view of this focus in a long-term simulation, we incorporate some technical variants. The main variant in our model is use of a dynamic evolution in the technical coefficients of I-O and in the labour productivity coefficients, developing a changing structure of these crucial factors during the simulation forecasting time.…”

Establishing a Framework for Evaluating Environmental and Socio-Economic Impacts by Power Generation Technology Using an Input–output Table—A Case Study of Japanese Future Electricity Grid Mix

“…The second category creates an extended IO table from the original IO table using detailed cost and employment data obtained by interviews and statistics. Ciorba et al [19] and Lehr et al [20] used this method to evaluate the impact on the Moroccan and German labor markets, respectively, of the introduction of renewable energy technologies. The current authors [21,22] have previously calculated the life cycle employment intensity of renewable energy technologies using an extended IO table by disaggregating the sectors related to renewable energy from the original Japanese 2005 IO table. The third category applies a so-called hybrid method of bottom-up and IO approaches to life cycle inventory analysis, to which the characteristics of the target technology can be reflected.…”
