Decomposition of the energy-intensity index with application for the Korean manufacturing industry

Energy efficiency and production technology heterogeneity in China's agricultural sector: A meta-frontier approach

“…For partial-factor energy efficiency indicators, a general definition is "the specific value of energy output and energy input" (Choi et al, 1995;Patterson, 1996;Ang and Liu, 2001;Lin and Moubarak, 2014), such as energy intensity which is measured as the ratio of energy input to economic output (Zhang, 2003;Liddle, 2010) and energy productivity which is the ratio of economic output to energy consumption (Ghali and El-Sakka, 2004). These indicators identify a linear correlation between economic growth and energy consumption, Technological Forecasting & Social Change 109 (2016) [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] and thus reducing energy intensity may have negative impact on economic growth (Shi et al, 2010).…”

China's changing energy intensity trend: A decomposition analysis

“…20 Examples of empirical applications areReitler et al (1987) andHowarth et al (1991).21 Empirical applications and developments of Divisia methods includeHuang (1993),Choi et al (1995),Wu et al (2006), just to name a few.…”

Multilevel decomposition analysis of energy intensity in the Thai road transport sector

“…During 1990periods: -1992periods: , 1995periods: -2003periods: , and 2004periods: -2007, results showed decreasing aggregate energy intensity. However, the aggregate energy intensity increased during 1992-1995and 2003-2004. During 1990-1992, the aggregate energy intensity decreased in both GBKK and provincial areas due to decreasing structural effect and decreasing energy intensity effect (see Table 2).…”

“…A large number of decomposition of energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions studies had been investigated and published. For example, Choi et al (1995) applied the decomposition to Korean manufacturing industries. Gardner and Elkhafif (1998) provided insight into the industrial structure and energy intensity changes occurred in Ontario between 1962and 1992.…”
