Evidence from futures and spot markets in Spain and Portugal 2020-09-30 .txt text/plain 6008 306 50 where y t refers to each of the observed time series (energy consumption and prices in the spot and future markets); β 0 and β 1 are unknown coefficients referring, respectively, to an intercept and a linear time trend, while x t is supposed to be I(d), where d can be any real value; finally, u t is I(0), expressed in terms of both uncorrelated and autocorrelated (Bloomfield) errors. These results suggest that the energy spot market in Portugal and Spain presents the price-elasticity of demand expected behaviour of micro-economics, where higher prices induces lower consumption and vice-versa, in a feedback process that is temporally persistent. Throughout this paper the stochastic properties of energy consumption and energy prices in Spain and Portugal have been examined by using fractional integration or I(d) techniques in the spot and futures markets. ./cache/cord-327278-2n9eo1n8.txt ./txt/cord-327278-2n9eo1n8.txt
