Long-run models of oil stock prices

Alessandro Lanza, Matteo Manera, Margherita Grasso, Massimo Giovannini

Environmental Modelling and Software > 2005 > 20 > 11 > 1423-1430

The identification of the forces that drive oil stock prices is extremely important given the size of the Oil & Gas industry and its links with the energy sector and the environment. In the next decade oil companies will have to deal with international policies to contrast climate change. This issue is likely to affect companies' shareholder values. In this paper we focus on the long-run financial...

Reducing carbon emissions? The relative effectiveness of different types of environmental tax: the case of New Zealand

Frank Scrimgeour, Les Oxley, Koli Fatai

Environmental Modelling and Software > 2005 > 20 > 11 > 1439-1448

Concerns about the impact of human activities on the environment have encouraged policy makers in New Zealand, and other nations, to reassess the relative effectiveness and efficiency of environmental taxes. Countries' experience with environmental taxation differ and discussions in New Zealand coincide with announcements by the government of new carbon and energy taxes to be introduced before the...

Modelling the load curve of aggregate electricity consumption using principal components

Matteo Manera, Angelo Marzullo

Environmental Modelling and Software > 2005 > 20 > 11 > 1389-1400

Since oil is a non-renewable resource with a high environmental impact, and its most common use is to produce combustibles for electricity, reliable methods for modelling electricity consumption can contribute to a more rational employment of this hydrocarbon fuel. In this paper we apply the Principal Components (PC) method to modelling the load curves of Italy, France and Greece on hourly data of...

Rolling regressions and conditional correlations of foreign patents in the USA

Felix Chan, Dora Marinova, Michael McAleer

Environmental Modelling and Software > 2005 > 20 > 11 > 1413-1422

Patent registrations have often been used as a proxy of innovation as they reflect a country's technological capability. Recently, some studies have found that the Generalised Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model and an asymmetric extension, namely Glosten, Jagannathan and Runkle's (GJR) model, are useful to model the time-varying volatility of the patent ratio, namely the ratio...

Desperately seeking environmental Kuznets

Marzio Galeotti, Alessandro Lanza

Environmental Modelling and Software > 2005 > 20 > 11 > 1379-1388

The number of studies seeking to characterize empirically the reduced-form relationship between country economic growth and the quantity of various pollutants produced has recently increased significantly. In several cases researchers have found evidence in favor of an inverted-U ‘environmental Kuznets’ curve. In the case of a major greenhouse gas, CO ₂ , however, the evidence is at best mixed...

Are winters getting warmer?

Timothy J. Vogelsang, Philip Hans Franses

Environmental Modelling and Software > 2005 > 20 > 11 > 1449-1455

We examine whether any trends in monthly temperatures are the same through-out the year for various lengthy series. The data concern the world, the northern and southern hemispheres, and about three centuries of data for the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. For the empirical exercise, we rely on new and accurate tests which have been recently developed. These tests do not have standard distributions,...

The cost efficiency of Kyoto flexible mechanisms: a top-down study with the GEM-E3 world model

Haoran Pan

Environmental Modelling and Software > 2005 > 20 > 11 > 1401-1411

Among Kyoto flexible mechanisms, emission trading (ET) shows more promise in cost efficiency but less flexibility in practice than Joint Implementation (JI) and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). The problem draws our attention to whether JI and CDM can replace ET in terms of cost efficiency under certain emission reduction actions such as the Kyoto Protocol. In this research, we firstly simulate...

Modelling thresholds and volatility in US ecological patents

Felix Chan, Dora Marinova, Michael McAleer

Environmental Modelling and Software > 2005 > 20 > 11 > 1369-1378

Ecological patents have been increasing steadily over time. This paper analyses trends and volatility in ecological patents in the USA from 1975 to 1997. Germany contributed more than 10% of the total US ecological patents, and is by far the strongest foreign performer. This paper estimates a set of novel regime-switching models to investigate the time-varying nature of the conditional mean, as well...

Ecologically sustainable tourism management

Christine Lim, Michael McAleer

Environmental Modelling and Software > 2005 > 20 > 11 > 1431-1438

One of the primary challenges facing ecotourism management is to establish a profitable and ecologically sustainable industry, while simultaneously achieving a satisfying experience for visitors and raising standards of living in the host community. This paper analyses the management practices and challenges faced by two ecotourism attractions on the Gold Coast and Brisbane in Queensland, Australia,...
