Show summary
Interfuel substitution for liquid fuel, coal and electricity in Zimbabwe manufacturing and mining using translog cost function. Our data spans a 24 year period. To mitigate the short time span, we partially pool time-series cross-section observations, and take into account the 'random effects' and 'fixed effects' framework. Estimated results are used to determine possibilities for interfuel substitution particularly given persistent increases in the price of liquid fuel.

Energy price responsiveness in Zimbabwean mining and manufacturing: a disaggregated demand analysis.
Journal of Energy in Southern Africa.
ISSN 1021-447X.
17(3),
p. 49–57.
Show summary
Examination of market signals that enhance efficiency in energy use and the allocation of energy resources, focusing on Zimbabwean manufacturing and mining. We estimate own- and cross-price elasticities of demand to determine how far industrial energy types consumed are substitutable for each other. The main emphasis is on reducing imported liquid fuel and promoting the country's coal resources. While liquid fuel claims a huge proportion of the country's foreign exchange, there is plentiful supply of coal. Coal, however, is environmentally damaging. Elasticity estimates, obtained at a highly disaggregated industrial level, will provide information about the impact of energy taxes on the demand for the different energy types.

Show summary
Samlede svarte arbeidsinntekter har vært omtrent uendret fra 1980 til 2001. Samtidig har andelen som jobber svart gått ned. Andelen som sier de ville jobbe svart dersom de hadde muligheten har også gått ned. Denne nedgangen i utbredelsen av svart arbeid gjelder både kvinner og menn, unge og eldre, og det ser ut til å være en nedgang innenfor samtlige bransjer, kanskje med unntak av byggebransjen. Artikkelen ser nærmere på hva som har skjedd med omfang og utbredelse av svart arbeid de siste 20 åra, og hvilke faktorer som kan bidra til å forklare disse endringene. Resultatene bygger på data fra spørreundersøkelser om svart arbeid som ble gjennomført i 1980, 1989 og 2001, med omtrent samme spørreskjema.
