In many empirical studies, the dynamic relationship among energy sector variables (such as, oil, electricity, gasoline, coal, renewable energy, etc.) and economic variables (such as; financial markets, real economy and the overall economy) are studied. Oil price changes may affect the economic variables more of oil importer countries then oil exporter countries especially emerging markets. In a...

This paper investigates the causal relationship between education and GDP in a panel of 11 selected oil exporting countries by using panel unit root tests and panel cointegration analysis for the period 1970-2010. A three-variable model is formulated with oil exports as the third variable. The results show a strong causality from oil revenues and economic growth to education in the oil exportin...

OBJECTIVE To describe geographical differences and time trends in the supply of the most important food components of the traditional Mediterranean diet. DESIGN Food supply data collected from national food balance sheets for the period 1961-2001. SETTING Selected Mediterranean countries: Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey. RESULTS Differences of almost 30-...

Mustard oil is used widely in food processing in many economically developing countries. Reuse of edible oils is very common in such countries. Although oils are inexpensive sources of fat and Vitamins, processing leaves a effect on processed food. Present study is so concerned with such type of common reuse of mustard oil in food processing and subsequent toxicological impact on selected rat t...

26 This narrative review compares evidence from experimental, epidemiological and 27 clinical studies of the health benefits of rapeseed (Canola) oil and olive oil in order to 28 assess if rapeseed oil is suitable as a sustainable alternative to olive oil as part of a 29 Mediterranean-style diet in countries where olive trees do not grow. From 30 epidemiological studies, the evidence for cardio...

sustainability in 19 different arab countries has been studied through investigating the relationship between economic development and energy consumption. data collected has been studied as a whole (total countries data) and as segregated data (oil exporting and oil importing countries data) i.e. three categories. the regression model used measures the effect of independent and control variable...

Mediterranean countries have lower rates of mortality from cardiovascular disease and cancer than Northern European or other Western countries. This has been attributed, at least in part, to the so-called Mediterranean diet, which is composed of specific local foods, including olive oil. Traditionally, many beneficial properties associated with this oil have been ascribed to its high oleic acid...

this paper, examines the factors that influence energy intensity- the ratio of energy consumption to gdp- in 42 oil exporting and none-oil exporting countries in the period 1985 to 2009. the research applies panel data models to analyze the impacts of oil price, gdp, exchange rate, co2 emissions, population, surface area and productivity on energy intensity. an attempt is made in this paper, to...
