“…Scientists [67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76] have confirmed that macroeconomic indicators influence a country's energy security and energy efficiency. Simultaneously, human capital and financial development have influenced CO 2 emissions and energy efficiency [67,68,[71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86]. Malinauskaite et al [87] confirmed that energy efficiency of the industry sector has influenced the achievement of the goals of the Green Deal Policy.…”

This article substantiates the need to find and implement innovative tools to improve the efficiency of the domestic system for energy sector control. The authors determined that energy policy renewal should consider Ukraine’s commitments to transition to a carbon-neutral economy. The systematization of scientific achievements shows that one of the priority tasks is to minimize the gaps in the energy efficiency of the national economy. It is established that, despite the significant scientific achievements in this area, the scientific community has not adopted a single approach to assessing energy efficiency yet. The purpose of this article is to assess the energy efficiency gaps in the national economy, in order to identify their peak values and the factors causing them, and appropriate mechanisms to minimize them. The energy efficiency gaps are assessed using frontal analysis and Shepard’s energy distance function. Analytical data from the World Bank, the Swiss Institute of Economics, and the International Energy Agency form the information base. The study applied software package Stata 14 for calculation the energy efficiency gaps for Ukraine for 2002–2019. The study applied the Shepard’s function translogarithmic, stochastic frontier analysis for the assessment of energy efficiency gaps. According to the study results, the average level of energy efficiency gaps is 0.12, and their values became the largest in 2009 and 2015. First of all, this is due to the impact of the global financial crisis and the escalation of military–political conflicts. The growing dynamics of the energy efficiency gaps level is due to the excess of the negative effect of increasing exports of primary energy resources and inefficient technologies for their processing over the positive impact of energy-efficient innovation imports. In this case, the government should provide a proactive strategy for creating a positive investment climate, in order to attract additional financial resources for extending green innovations and popularizing the green style and cultivate the energy safety behavior in society.

“…According to the study results, the dependence of the level of GDP on energy efficiency and energy consumption was established. It is also worth noting the study (He, 2019;Mačaitytė, Virbašiūtė, 2018;Karakasis, 2017), which provides generalized arguments and counterarguments on the impact of institutional factors on the environment and the level of energy security.…”

This article summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the laws of developing the theory of energy efficiency management of the national economy. The study’s primary purpose is to develop theoretical and methodological tools for analyzing the patterns of development of the theory of energy efficiency management of the national economy. Systematization of literature sources and approaches to solving the problem of developing the idea of energy efficiency management of the national economy has shown a need to update state energy policies, strategies, regulatory and legal support for the energy sector’s functioning. The urgency of solving this scientific problem is to intensify research on the development of the national economy’s energy efficiency management theory. The research on the laws of development of the theory of energy efficiency management of the national economy in the article is carried out in the following logical sequence: the systematization of literature sources and approaches to study the theory of energy efficiency management of the national economy, bibliometric and trend analysis to further identify basic theoretical principles and stages of energy management theory, the efficiency of the national economy. Methodological tools of the study were methods of logical generalization, comparative analysis and trend and bibliometric analysis – to identify patterns in developing the theory of energy efficiency of the national economy; the study period was chosen from 2000 to 2020. VOSViewer v.1.6.10 toolkit was used for bibliometric analysis, Google Trends for trend analysis. The object of the study is a sample of 48,888 publications and 21,725 search queries for the keywords like energy policy, energy efficiency, sustainable development based on scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science, as well as Google Trends tools. The article presents the results of trend and bibliometric analysis of the development of energy efficiency management theory of the national economy, which showed that today the relevance and interest in the development of energy efficiency of the national economy is only gaining momentum, primarily due to the transition to a new stage of carbon neutral development.

Optimal Design of Transport Tax on the Way to National Security: Balancing Environmental Footprint, Energy Efficiency and Economic Growth

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

To ensure the progress of sustainable development and overcome threats to national security, the development of tools for balancing ecological, economic and energy aspects of economic activity acquires special importance. This study is related to the influence of choosing different functional elements of transport taxes on their effectiveness in ensuring national security. For calculations, panel regression modelling with panel-adjusted standard errors based on the use of the Durbin–Watson test using dummy variables was chosen. The assessment involves the selection of the main factor variable (tax revenues from transport taxes, as well as an additional dummy variable) and compliance with a country’s transport taxation system, with a certain criterion for its application. The resulting criterion was chosen as an integral indicator of national security, which summarizes the parameters of environmental footprints, economic growth, energy efficiency and security. Calculations were made for nine countries (i.e., the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Ireland, Israel, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Turkey) for the period 1996–2019. The calculations proved that the establishment of transport taxes, depending on the type and weight of the car, increases their effectiveness on ensuring national security or, depending on the cost and age of the car, weakens such effectiveness. The use of emissions generated by the car, its capacity and its type of fuel requires additional research; the obtained results did not allow for unambiguously determining their impact on the effectiveness of transport taxes. The conducted research forms the basis for choosing the optimal design of transport taxes to ensure the maximization of their regulatory effectiveness. The developed approach can be extended to evaluate the effectiveness of other environmental taxes.
