Differences in regional energy-elasticities may be caused by relative differences in primary energy sources and endowments but they may also arise from differences in economic structure and/or consumption behaviour. This paper examines some long-run energy demand relationships across three sectors -domestic, industrial/commercial and transport in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom as a whole. The use of cointegration and error correction techniques uncovers differences in dynamic response between the energy-rich Scottish region and the energy-poor Northern Ireland region. There are significantly lower short-run price-elasticities in all sectors in Northern Ireland than in Scotland and the United Kingdom overall, whereas the income-elasticities in the energy-poor region are larger.

## Abstract In this paper, we propose a model of income dynamics which takes account of mobility both within and between jobs. The model is a hybrid of the moverβstayer model of income dynamics and a geometric random walk. In any period, individuals face a discrete probability of βmovingβ, in which
Research in the field of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) has concentrated on increasing the number of diseases diagnosed, different strategies for single cell analysis and improving efficiency and reliability. Of equal importance are clinical issues such as the demand for and cost of PGD. Th
