Summary/Abstract

In an attempt to reduce the contribution of residential greenhouse gas emissions the EU has implemented a variety of policy measures. The focus has been to promote domestic energy efficiency and ultimately a reduction in residential energy demand. In this study we estimate residential energy demand using Underlying Energy Demand Trend (UEDT) and Asymmetric Price Responses for 14 European OECD countries between 1978 and 2008. Our results support the conclusion that policies to reduce residential energy consumption and the consequent emissions need to account for behavioural, lifestyle and cultural factors in order to be effective.

Summary/Abstract

The enlargement of the EU has implications for the national defence requirements and therefore national defence policy of European nations. In light of the freedom of movement of citizens between member states it is appropriate to consider the implications of a country's military expenditure for its macroeconomy and specifically on the flows of migration between member states. Traditionally, income differentials, employment levels and relative standards of living are all factors that influence an individual's decision to migrate. To this list we add the level of military expenditure. Migration from a panel of 16 Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) to Germany between 1995 and 2002 is found to be the result of the level of military expenditure of the source country and the host country in conjunction with factors consistent with standard theoretical predictions
