Analyzing the Greek renewable energy sector: A Data Envelopment Analysis approach
(2012)This paper applies a bootstrapped Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) formulation aiming to evaluate the financial performance of the firms operating in the Greek renewable energy sector. With the use of financial ratios in a ... -
Carbon dioxide emissions and governance: A nonparametric analysis for the G-20
(2013)This paper applies nonparametric estimators to examine the carbon dioxide emissions-governance relationship. By using data for the twenty largest economies (Group of twenty, G-20) the dynamics of the considered relationship ... -
A conditional directional distance function approach for measuring regional environmental efficiency: Evidence from UK regions
(2013)This paper, by using conditional directional distance functions as introduced by Simar and Vanhems [J. Econometrics 166 (2012) 342-354] modifies the model by Fare and Grosskopf [Eur. J. Operat. Res. 157 (2004) 242-245] and ... -
The effect of government expenditure on the environment: An empirical investigation
(2013)This paper examines the impact of government spending on the environment using a panel of 77 countries for the time period 1980-2000. We estimate both the direct and indirect effects of government spending on pollution. ... -
Environmental Kuznets Curve for sulfur: evidence using GMM estimation and random coefficient panel data models
(2003)The purpose of this study is to test empirically the hypothesis of the inverted U-shaped relationship between environmental damage from sulfur emissions and economic growth as expressed by GDP. Using a large database of ... -
Environmental Kuznets curves: Bayesian evidence from switching regime models
(2001)The purpose of the paper is to test empirically the existence of an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), using switching regime models along with cross-sectional data and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to perform ... -
European Regional Convergence Revisited: A Weighted Least Squares Approach
(2009)A plethora of past studies have concluded that unconditional beta-convergence is present in a broad sample of regions, implying that poor regions grow faster than rich ones. All these econometric studies tend to overlook ... -
Exploring the existence of Kuznets curve in countries' environmental efficiency using DEA window analysis
(2009)This paper, using data envelopment (DEA) window analysis and generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators, examines the existence of a Kuznets type relationship between countries' environmental efficiency and national ... -
Modelling Regional Welfare Efficiency Applying Conditional Full Frontiers
(2011)This paper demonstrates an evaluation of welfare policies and regional allocation of public investment using the recent developments in efficiency analysis and statistical inference. Specifically, the efficiency of the ... -
A panel data analysis of the nexus between defence spending and growth in the European union: A reply
(2007)Hatzinikolaou raises a number of issues related mainly to the econometrics of our paper. These issues are categorized according to the three stages of econometric analysis: specification, estimation, and diagnostic checking. ... -
Peripherality and integration: industrial growth and decline in the Greek regions
(2012)Peripheral European economies are often characterized by unfavorable structural regularities and geographical coordinates, making the process of economic integration an experience possibly associated with welfare losses ... -
Public sector transparency and countries' environmental performance: A nonparametric analysis
(2014)Based on the theoretical background of the link between countries' public sector transparency and environmental policy, our paper provides empirical evidence for a sample of 49 countries for the time period of 1995-2000. ... -
Regional allocation of public infrastructure investment: The case of Greece
(2005)Regional allocation of public infrastructure investment: the case of Greece, Regional Studies 39, 1231-1244. This paper develops a model on the determinants of the regional allocation of public infrastructure investment ... -
Regional inequalities in Greece
(2000)This article examines regional inequalities in Greece, on the basis of sigma-convergence and beta-convergence analysis and shows that they were reduced in the 1970s and the 1980s. Regression analysis indicates that regional ... -
Who Cares about Biodiversity? Optimal Conservation and Transboundary Biodiversity Externalities
(2012)The Convention on Biological Diversity's (2010) target to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss was achieved by very few countries. Why? We use the theory of conservation implicit in the Hotelling model of non-renewable ...
