  • 2014/10 : Energy efficiency determinants: an empirical analysis of Spanish innovative firms

    María Teresa Costa, José García-Quevedo, Agustí Segarra

    This paper examines the extent to which innovative Spanish firms pursue improvements in energy efficiency (EE) within their innovation objectives. The increase in energy consumption and its impact on greenhouse gas emissions justifies the greater attention being paid to energy efficiency and especially to industrial EE. The ability of manufacturing...

    2013/37 : Revenues from storage in a competitive electricity market: Empirical evidence from Great Britain

    Monica Giulietti, Luigi Grossi, Michael Waterson

    Despite the high upfront financial costs associated with the existing technologies for energy storage they have become more appealing in recent years in response to the increasing importance of non-dispatchable sources of generation in the energy systems of developed countries. One of the essential pieces of information required to value...

    2013/24 : Renewable energy and electricity prices: indirect empirical evidence from hydro power

    Ronald Huisman, Victoria Stradnic, Sjur Westgaard

    Many countries have introduced policies to stimulate the production of electricity in a sustainable or renewable way. Theoretical and simulation studies provide evidence that the introduction of renewable energy promotion policies lead to lower electricity prices as sustainable energy supply as wind and solar have very low or even zero...

    2013/23 : R&D drivers and obstacles to innovation in the energy industry

    Maria Teresa Costa-Campi, Néstor Duch-Brown, José García-Quevedo

    The energy industry is facing substantial challenges that require innovation to be fostered. Nevertheless, levels of R&D investment and innovation remain quite low in comparison with other sectors. In this paper we analyse the main drivers of R&D investment and obstacles to innovation in the energy industry. We examine, firstly,...

    2005/01: The measurement of scope, scale and diversification economies: How (in)efficient is electricity restructuring and unbundling?

    Pablo Arocena

    This paper estimates the degree of economies of scope, diversification and scale in the Spanish electricity industry by means of Data Envelopment Analysis. Our results show that there exist economies of integrating power generation and distribution, as well as economies of product diversification at the generation stage. Particularly, the hypothetical...

    2001/10: Fiscalidad medioambiental sobre la energía: propuestas para España

    José M. Durán, Cristina de Gispert

    En este trabajo se estudia el papel que la tributación puede jugar en el desarrollo de la política energética-mediambiental española. Después de analizar el sistema tributario español se observa como la política tributaria ha jugado hasta la actualidad un papel casi irrelevante en este ámbito, si bien a nivel autonómico...
