Structural Change and Convergence of Energy Intensity Across OECD Countries, 1970-2005
Mulder, Peter; Groot, Henri L. F. de - 2012
This paper uses a new dataset derived from a consistent framework of national accounts to compute and evaluate energy intensity developments across 18 OECD countries and 50 sectors over the period 1970-2005. We find that across countries energy intensity levels tend to increase in a fairly wide...

Explaining the Energy Consumption Portfolio in a Cross-Section of Countries : Are the BRICs Different?
Arseneau, David M. - 2014
This paper uses disaggregated data from a broad cross-section of countries to empirically assess differences in energy consumption profiles across countries. We find empirical support for the energy ladder hypothesis, which contends that as an economy develops it transits away from a heavier...

The Effects of Energy Efficiency Improvement in China with Global Interaction
Glomsrød, Solveig; Wei, Taoyuan - 2016
China has pledged to reduce its carbon intensity defined as carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40-45% by 2020 and by 60-65% by 2030 compared to the 2005 level. To fulfill the pledges, China’s government has made energy efficiency its de facto climate policy. This article raises the...

Climate Change and the Energy Challenge : A Pragmatic Approach for India
Rai, Varun; Victor, David G. - 2014
India has been famous for arguing that it (and the rest of the developing world) should incur no expense in controlling emissions that cause climate change. The west caused the problem and it should clean it up. That argument is increasingly untenable — both in the fundamental arithmetic of...
