Olive sector residues could contribute to increased use of renewable energies, especially in those areas where the olive crop is produced. This paper determines the maximum amount of electrical and thermal energy which could be obtained in Andalusia from olive sector residues, and the economic value that could be obtained from these energy uses. For this, the current data on installed power and electrical and thermal generation are compared with the calculated potential data which would be obtained at full capacity. The results show there is a 69.23% wastage of olive sector residues for energy purposes. Thus, using the resources at full capacity, 3.9 million tons of biomass per year could be obtained for energy purposes. Currently, only 2 million tons of biomass are used for energy purposes. This wastage translates into a below potential generation of electrical and thermal energy. The full use of these residues would allow 83.9% and 64.9% higher generation of electrical and thermal energy, respectively. The results obtained also show that the economic value of olive sector biomass is higher than the market price value, with the average values for each use being 248.20 €/t for domestic thermal use, 165.04 €/t for electrical use and 139.50 €/t for industrial thermal use. Thus, it is considered feasible that the olive sector biomass could be used to a greater degree than at present. In this sense, it is recommended that more electricity generation plants and thermal-generating systems be put into operation.

The increased use of renewable energy in electricity generation has not been sufficient to reduce the associated emissions. Therefore, a better understanding of the evolution of electricity consumption may be advisable to undertake suitable energy policies. This paper contributes to this understanding by analyzing the non-linear income and temperature effects on electricity demand in the residential sector in Andalusia (Spain). To this end, panel data OLS, PCSE, and quantile regression analysis methods have been performed to provide a complete picture of the relationship between the studied variables. The results show evidence to support an inverted N-shaped relationship, with respect to income, without reaching the upper threshold point. The results also show that electricity elasticity, with respect to income, tends to increase with residential electricity consumption. It is also observed that temperature values, increasing above 22°C and temperatures decreasing below 15°C progressively, increase residential electricity consumption, the elasticity with respect to temperatures being higher for municipalities with lower residential electricity consumption. Reinforcing energy efficiency measures in the municipalities with the highest electricity consumption is recommended.

This study provides an overview of the evolution of renewable energy (RE) use for electricity generation and the measures adopted to promote its use in 17 transition economies. The study shows that the share of RE in electricity generation decreased by 7.65% in the 1995–2016 period, with its share accounting for 18.18% in 2016, and only 0.39% when hydraulic energy is not considered. Nevertheless, the RE installed capacity (without hydro) increased notably from 2016 to 2018, coinciding with the adoption of promotion measures. The study also shows that all transition economies, except two, have national RE targets. Feed-in tariffs (FITs) are the most used mechanism in force (in 12 countries), net metering has been introduced in seven countries and tax incentives in four. Tendering is spreading rapidly. Five countries had already held their first auctions in 2018 and, in 2019–20, another five countries have worked on the introduction of an auction system. In addition, tax incentives are also in place in four countries. The study finds important differences in the measures applied, and installed capacity improvements, by country. All countries, except two, have at least adopted one RE measure. However, seven countries present RE installed capacity values close to zero. Ukraine, Russia and Serbia have most increased their RE installed capacity. Ukraine and Serbia have achieved these records by means of FITs, while Russia has used tendering. This study shows that the recent measures adopted seems to be having a positive impact on the capacity to generate electricity from RE.

Algeria has enormous renewable energy potential. However, fossil fuels remain the main electricity generation source, and the country is the third largest CO2 emitter in Africa. Algeria is also particularly vulnerable to climate change. Therefore, a set of actions related to energy, forests, industry and waste sectors have been programmed, over the period 2015–2030, and the government action program has given priority to promote renewable energy. In this sense, Algeria is committed to significantly promote investment in renewable energy, during the period 2020–2030. Thus by 2030, renewable electricity production capacity will achieve 22,000 MW, representing 27% of total electricity generation. This paper analyzes the electricity generation measures implemented in Algeria to reach the required energy mix, the legislative framework, financial aid, the feed-in tariff system, the tax incentives, and the tender and auctions undertaken. The analyses reveal that, although the electricity price premium policy has not been revoked, the newly enacted tender scheme is designed to become the standard procedure for launching renewable energy projects in Algeria in the coming years.

Tourism is a major economic activity constituting one of the main sectors in economic terms. European countries traditionally play a significant role in the overall international tourism flow. However, while tourism has a noticeable positive impact on economic development, it also contributes to environmental degradation by increasing energy consumption and therefore emissions. This paper analyses the relationships between Hotel and Restaurant electricity consumption and tourism growth in 9 European countries during 2004–2012, for which there is a sufficient amount of data available. A decomposition analysis based on log-mean Divisia index method (LMDI I) is conducted to examine electricity consumption on this sector and their components. Five decomposition factors are considered: energy intensity (EI), physical capital intensity (KI), physical and human capital relationship (KL), human capital intensity (LI) and the tourism factor (T). Results show the evolution of energy consumption related to this sector, identifying the driving forces that have influenced it.

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been integrated in teaching activities to develop new learning environments. Within ICTs, the use of multimedia, such as instructional videos, has attracted significant academic attention. Nevertheless, the use of these technologies in teaching economics has generally lagged behind other disciplines. This paper adds empirical evidence to show the effectiveness of the use of instructional videos in the field of economics. Firstly, videos illustrating dynamic graphical representations of macroeconomic processes have been developed and used in the class of one student group at the University of Seville (Spain), as complementary teaching materials in the macroeconomics curriculum. Secondly, the effectiveness of these videos has been tested by carrying out an inferential analysis on experimental and control groups. Potentially significant variables such as gender, prior knowledge and ability levels of students have been considered in the analysis. Additionally, probit and multinomial probabilistic regressions have been estimated in order to assess the impact of these materials on the probability of achieving higher test scores. The findings confirm the superiority of using instructional video-clips to achieve higher test scores.

The European Union has recently presented a strategic long-term vision for a climate-neutral economy by 2050, considering that climate change is a serious concern for Europeans. A great socio-economic transformation is necessary, affecting all economic sectors. On the one hand, the European Union considers that it is necessary to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050; on the other hand, sectors need to adapt to a warming climate. Focusing on the tourism sector, and using panel data referring to 12 Spanish Mediterranean provinces and the 1999–2014 time period, this study tests the tourist stays and temperature effects on the electricity consumption of the hospitality sector by estimating extended Energy Environmental Kuznets curves for the sector. The results show that this curve is not supported. Instead, electricity consumption progressively increases as tourism grows. In addition, the results indicate that temperature variables have notable influence over electricity use, with a positive influence of global warming on electricity consumption. Finally, results also show positive relationships between overnight stays in hotels with higher star ratings and electricity use, while no significant price effects are observed. Electricity saving measures and renewable electricity generation promotion are recommended, especially in the highest energy consuming establishments.

This study analyses the measures used to promote renewable energy for electricity generation in the 18 Latin American countries that signed the Paris Agreement, in an electricity demand growth context. The Latin American countries have had a remarkable growth in the use of renewable energy for electricity generation. Biomass, wind and solar energy have experienced strong growth, however, their participation in the energy mix remains small. All the studied countries have established renewable energy targets, 16 having adopted at least one promotion measure. The most used measures are tax incentives, mainly through exemptions in income tax, value added or sales tax and on tariffs. Also, most countries are using auction systems, which are replacing the Feed-In Tariff system. The net metering system adoption is also growing in the region. The results of the study show a positive relationship between the most active countries in renewable energy promotion and the performance achieved in the studied years. Therefore active policies are considered necessary for the future development of renewable energies.

In the EU context, industrial sectors have significantly reduced their energy consumption in the last decade. Despite significant disparities existing across industry branches, comparative studies focused on the effect of energy use in the production growth of the different industry branches are limited and not related to the EU countries. This study undertakes a production growth approach to analyze the effect of energy use in different industry branches, through the estimation of translog production functions, based on data from 12 EU countries during the 2000-2014 period. In addition, two sub-periods are studied to evaluate if industrial energy efficiency has been improving through time, specifically from 2007. Findings confirm the existence of different behavior patterns with respect to energy use in the considered sectors and from one sub-period to another. As a result, policy measures should be sector-specific, since no general production-energy use patterns can be obtained.

Transport is a strategic sector for economic development whilst being one of the most polluting sectors of the economy. The Latin American and Caribbean countries have been consolidated as the region with significantly faster energy consumption growth. This paper analyzes how the GDP per capita affects the transport energy consumption, testing possible non-linear relationships between variables. A transport energy consumption function depending on GDP and its squared and cubed value is estimated for 22 LAC countries, over the period 1990–2014. The results support an N-shaped curve, while the elasticity values of transport energy consumption, with respect to GDP per capita, do not show a tendency to decrease in the long term. Fourteen LAC countries show absolute coupling levels at the end of the period, while the rest exhibit partial couplings. Likewise, trade openness, population density, degree of urbanization and structural changes in the economy have positive effects on the transport energy consumption. This paper proposes some energy efficiency measures to control the growing energy use, and the promotion of biofuels and electric vehicles is also considered necessary to reduce the negative effects of transport energy use.

Within the framework of the COP21 (Conference of the Parties) agreement, Algeria submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution pledging to reduce carbon emissions by at least 7% by 2030. However, it will be a difficult task to reach this target as total final energy consumption has increased 32% from 2010 to 2014, with the major energy increases being related to electricity use in the residential sector. In this context, the relationship between residential electricity consumption and income is analyzed for Algeria in the period 1970–2013, by estimating a residential electricity consumption per capita demand function which depends on GDP per capita, its squared and cubed terms, the electricity prices, and the goods and services imports. An extended Autoregressive Distributed Lag model (ARDL) was adopted to consider the different growth patterns registered in the evolution of GDP. The estimate results show that the relationships between electricity use and GDP (in per capita terms) present an inverted N-shape, with the second turning point having been reached. Therefore, promoting growth in Algeria could be convenient to reduce the electricity consumption, as a higher income level may allow the use of more efficient appliances. Additionally, renewable energies may be adequate to increase the electricity production in order to cover the increasing residential demand.

In this study, a new conception of the relationships between competitiveness, tourism, and economic growth is proposed. The naturally occurring or inherited tourism resources within the territory, together with productive resources and the relationships between them, are the determining elements of the capacity of the economy to grow. The analysis of this new conceptual framework implies the need to assess the productive factors on the one hand, and the tourism capital (TC) on the other, the latter being measured by some kind of indicator that is not affected by the productive factors. In this study, a TC index is developed for the first time in the literature. It is calculated for the Spanish provinces in 2014, by using synthetic indicators constructed from a weighted average of the initially proposed indicators, where the weight of each of these is obtained through a confirmatory factor analysis. The TC index may allow future empirical studies to analyze how tourism affects economic growth, in relation to other productive factors.

In 2014, the European Union established a new climate and energy framework for 2020–2030, setting three key targets: a 40% emissions reduction and the achievement of a 27% share of renewable energy production and improvements in energy efficiency. All levels of governments should be involved in reaching these goals, with the role of local authorities being mainly important. Thus, the Covenant of Mayors has been developed as an initiative consisting of a voluntary agreement between local governments to reduce emissions, through specific action plans including policies promoting energy saving and renewable energy. The aim of this paper is to analyze the main benchmark actions performed, based on the database offered by the Covenant of Mayors organization. A total of 4741 so-called Benchmarks of Excellence from almost 1300 cities were registered, being undertaken mainly by Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Belgian municipalities. The greatest number of actions is related to municipal buildings, public lighting and local electricity production, which are also the greatest emissions reducing actions. In terms of energy savings, actions are highlighted that are related to a modal shift to public transport, municipal building envelopes, and agriculture and forestry, while actions generating more renewable energy production are related to combined heat and power areas.

This paper analyses the relationship between economic growth and residential energy consumption in 12 transition economies during the 1995–2013 period, by testing the EKC hypothesis. Urbanisation, population density, transition level and structural change have been included in the estimate process as control variables. The estimate results are compatible with the EKC hypothesis. However, the turning point has not been reached, although Russia is close to it. The results also show that, for countries with low income levels, the economic growth has been reducing the residential energy consumption, which may be related to efficiency gains. Nevertheless, for countries with higher income values, the economic growth has increased the residential energy consumption. Therefore, it may be adequate to establish energy efficiency measures in households and buildings, and promote the use of renewable energy, in order to reduce environmental problems. The results also show that the elasticity values are not constant over time and countries. These differences make it recommendable to adapt the energy policy to each country. The results also show that the urbanisation, higher transition level towards a market economy, and the structural change of the economy towards to one that is more tertiary based, have positive effects in reducing residential energy use.

Olive oil has generated a new tourism offer in Spain called oleotourism. Visitors can enjoy landscapes of ancient olive groves and visit its oil mills called almazaras, to learn about its manufacture and to taste different oil varieties. Andalusia, located in the south of Spain, produces 60% of Spain’s olive oil, having the largest number of almazaras, and therefore most oleotourism offers. This differentiated tourism offer requires identifying the profile of oleotourists to determine sustainable strategies to increase demand without harming the local community. The objective of this study is to identify the Andalusian oleotourism offer according to the profile of oleotourists and project its demand evolution, in order to offer a sustainable product best suited to the demand. With this aim, three techniques are applied in this study: a random survey addressed to oleotourists in Andalusia, a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the oleotourism sector in the region, and finally, its demand is projected by using the ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average) model. The results indicate a favorable future scenario that should induce entrepreneurs and local authorities to invest in promoting and developing a product. Oleotourism is an alternative that can serve as a complement to agricultural income and generate employment.

Tourism is a major economic activity in the world. However, while tourism has a noticeable positive impact on economic development, it also contributes to environmental degradation by increasing energy consumption and therefore emissions. This paper analyzes the relationships between Hotel and Restaurant electricity consumption and tourism growth in 11 European Union countries for the period 2005–2012, for which there is sufficient data availability. Panel data techniques are used to test an electricity consumption function for this sector, which depends on tourism, its squared value, energy price, income and a climate variable. The results show that the Energy–Tourism Kuznets Curve hypothesis is not supported. Instead, an increasing relationship is observed between the Hotel and Restaurant sector electricity consumption and overnight stays. Results also show the effects of income and low temperatures in increasing electricity consumption, while prices have no effects. Energy efficiency measures and the adoption of renewable energy systems are recommended, with further investments therefore being necessary.
