“…Panel-data based analysis (such as data envelopment analysis) also allows EEE on the macro-level, because it can measure economy-wide energy efficiency changes in multiple countries over time (e.g. Vlahinić-Dizdarević & Šegota, 2012;Vlahinić Lenz & Prša, 2015). Many studies use time series or panel data models to study energy demand, such as Hirst et al (1991), Samiullah et al (1996), Loughran & Kulick (2004), Horowitz (2007), Metcalf (2008), and Horowitz (2011).…”

Are investments in energy efficiency profitable? The answer largely depends on the applied methodology within investment analysis, but because of their wide impact energy efficiency investments should not be evaluated only by "normal" investment criteria. After a comprehensive literature review, we establish a new conceptual framework for the analysis of energy efficiency methodology and exhibit three main factors of evaluation: scope, timing, and approach. Stakeholders of energy efficiency projects can employ this framework when choosing the appropriate methodology for their investment analysis.

Economic growth and competitiveness are usually analysed at the level of the national economy in traditional economic research. The problem of competitiveness within this line of thought is mainly regarded from the perspective of determining the sources of sustainable growth, which makes the economy more competitive than others. Competitiveness, therefore, is a multidimensional concept, which includes a range of factors, such as institutions, infrastructure, macroeconomic environment, market, human capital and technological development. Also, the process of joining the European Union significantly stimulates the development of the exact categories that are relevant for acceleration of the economic development. The aim of the paper is to assess the competitiveness of the candidate or potential candidate countries for membership in the European Union, through a comparative analysis of their competitiveness vis-à-vis EU countries. The results indicate that the competitiveness of the EU 15 countries, measured by Global Competitiveness Index and GDP per capita, is statistically significantly higher than the competitiveness of EU country group enlarged in the period 2004-2013, also compared to EU candidate or potential candidate countries. However, when it comes to the pillar of competitiveness related to the macroeconomic environment, according to the latest Global Competitiveness Report (2017-2018), the scores of the EU countries associated with enlargements in the period 2004-2013 are statistically significantly better than the EU 15 countries.

This paper investigates and quantifies the extent of the Transmission and Distribution Price Reform (TDPR) on economic growth. Provincial-level data from 2010 to 2019 was used to estimate the impacts of the TDPR on economic growth using a progressive difference in differences method (DID). Findings showed that the reform had a positive impact on regional GDP and regional GDP per capita. Furthermore, to explore its mechanism of influence, the impacts of the TDPR on electricity prices, including the average sale prices and sale prices for industrial users, were analyzed, and the evidence suggests that the TDPR has significantly reduced the sale price. Additionally, the regression result suggests that the TDPR mainly affects electricity prices to reduce the energy cost of enterprises, and then promotes the innovation of industrial enterprises above designated size (IEADS) and fixed asset investment, which act on total factor productivity and promote regional economic growth. The regression results showed good robustness under various robustness tests.
