Decomposing energy demand across BRIIC countries

Energy market integration and equitable growth across countries

Energy Market Integration (EMI) has been a goal for many regions, including the European Union and East Asia, for quite a long time. How it could play a role in facilitating equitable economic growth among a group of countries remains an empirical question that this paper will attempt to answer. The paper uses economic convergence analysis (including both the r-convergence and b-convergence app...

Decomposing ERP time-frequency energy using PCA.

OBJECTIVE Time-frequency transforms (TFTs) offer rich representations of event-related potential (ERP) activity, and thus add complexity. Data reduction techniques for TFTs have been slow to develop beyond time analysis of detail functions from wavelet transforms. Cohen's class of TFTs based on the reduced interference distribution (RID) offer some benefits over wavelet TFTs, but do not offer t...

Growth across Countries

Numerous studies have explored the relationship between economic freedom and longrun economic growth across countries. See, for example, the studies cited in the recent review by Berggren (2003). One particular aspect of economic freedom that has received relatively little attention in the empirical growth literature, however, is the extent of government regulation. Determining the impact of re...

Gender Gaps across Countries and Skills: Supply, Demand and the Industry Structure

Gender Gaps across Countries and Skills: Supply, Demand and the Industry Structure The gender wage gap varies widely across countries and across skill groups within countries. Interestingly, there is a positive cross-country correlation between the unskilled-to-skilled gender wage gap and the corresponding gap in hours worked. Based on a canonical supply and demand framework, this positive corr...
