The importance of renewable energy for the power intensive industry, from an economic perspective

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Economic research on the power intensive industry includes analyzing the importance of renewable energy for the industry. When doing so a sample for multinational activities is applied, often running over countries and years, and even industries. The Gravity model and Knowledge Capital models have proven useful for these analyses. The Gravity model is designed to capture volume of bilateral trade or investment. The Knowledge Capital model accounts for knowledge capital, measured by skilled labor. Also the Heckman 2 step procedure has proven useful, providing estimates in two steps to capture the threshold cost associated with investment in the industry.
