Do population age groups matter in the energy use of the oil-exporting countries?

Residential electricity use effects of population in Kazakhstan

“…In the absence of time series studies, it is difficult to discover country specific features of energy effects of population and affluence. To our knowledge, there is one time series analysis for Kazakhstan, Hasanov et al (2016) in the STIRPAT framework, where the dependent variable is aggregated energy use, which does not allow using specific energy types and offer related policy suggestions. With these considerations in mind, we examined the impacts of population age groups and affluence on REC in Kazakhstan by applying an ARDLBT cointegration method, a powerful method in the case of small sample in the STIRPAT framework.…”

“…The studies of the economies are mainly panel studies, which neglect specific features of countries. With the exception of Shafiei (2013), Hasanov et al (2016) and Mikayilov and Hasanov (2015), none of these studies applied cointegration and ECM, and thus have not estimated SoA in the STIRPAT framework. Finally, except the above mentioned three studies none of them applied the ARDLBT approach to the time series data of the countries considering that data for these countries spans for a short period.…”

“…4 Only Scarrow (2010), Liddle (2011), Fang et al (2012, Nouri et al (2012), Shafiei (2013), Hasanov et al (2016) studied the energy use impacts. Although these energy studies, except Hasanov et al (2016) and Mikayilov and Hasanov (2015) are based on panel analysis and ignored country-specific features. We still review them below.…”

“…In addition, many of these studies employed cross-sectional or panel data (Shafiei, 2013;Scarrow, 2010;Fang et al, 2012;Nouri et al, 2012). By applying STIRPAT framework, Hasanov et al (2016) examined the impact of population, age groups and GDP growth on energy use of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Russia. However, their dependent variable was total energy use and they did not examine the effects on sectoral energy use, such as industrial or residential consumption.…”

“…However, studies are either cross-sectional (York et al, 2003a;Knight, 2008;Kick and McKinney, 2014;Lamb et al, 2014;Mattos and Filippi, 2013), or panel studies (Fang and Miller, 2013;Martínez-Zarzoso, 2009;York and Rosa, 2012;Brizga et al, 2013;Jorgenson, 2011;Lankao et al, 2008;Grunewald and Martínez-Zarzoso, 2009a, 2009bPrew, 2010;Iwata and Okada, 2014;Martínez-Zarzoso and Maruotti, 2011) that investigate environmental issues rather than energy use. 4 Only Scarrow (2010), Liddle (2011), Fang et al (2012, Nouri et al (2012), Shafiei (2013), Hasanov et al (2016) studied the energy use impacts. Although these energy studies, except Hasanov et al (2016) and Mikayilov and Hasanov (2015) are based on panel analysis and ignored country-specific features.…”
