Decoupling Economic Growth and Energy Use. An Empirical Cross-Country Analysis for 10 Manufacturing Sectors

Mulder, Peter; Groot, Henri L.F. de - Tinbergen Instituut - 2004

This paper provides an empirical analysis of decoupling economic growth and energy use and its various determinants by exploring trends in energy- and labour productivity across 10 manufacturing sectors and 14 OECD countries for the period 1970-1997. We explicitly aim to trace back aggregate...

Dutch Sectoral Energy Intensity Developments in International Perspective, 1987-2005

Mulder, Peter; Groot, Henri L.F. de - Tinbergen Instituut - 2012

This paper makes use of a new dataset to investigate energy intensity developments in the Netherlands over the period 1987-2005. The dataset allows for a comparison with 18 other OECD countries. A key feature of our analysis is that we combine a cross-country perspective with a high level of...

Structural Change and Convergence of Energy Intensity across OECD Countries, 1970-2005

Mulder, Peter; Groot, Henri L.F. de - Tinbergen Instituut - 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...

International Comparisons of Sectoral Energy- and Labour-Productivity Performance: Stylised Facts and Decomposition of Trends

Mulder, Peter; Groot, Henri L.F. de - Tinbergen Instituut - 2004

This paper addresses the interplay between economic growth, energy use, change in sectoral composition and technological change, by exploring trends in energy- and labour productivity development for 14 OECD countries and four sectors over the period 1970-1997. A cross-country decomposition...

Post-Socialist Financial Fragility: the Case of Albania

Bezemer, Dirk J. - Tinbergen Instituut - 1999

The 1997 collapse of the Albanian economy caused by the collapse of economy-widePonzi schemes contrasts sharply to itssuccess status as a post-socialist transition country in the years 1992-1996. Inthis paper, an attempt is made to explain this'Albanian Paradox'. The specific Albanian conditions...

Sectoral Energy- and Labour-Productivity Convergence

Mulder, Peter; Groot, Henri L.F. de - Tinbergen Instituut - 2004

This paper provides an empirical analysis of energy- and labour-productivity convergence at a detailed sectoral level for 14 OECD countries, covering the period 1970-1997. A fã-convergence analysis shows that the development of cross-country variation in productivity performance depends on the...

Dynamics and Determinants of Energy Intensity in the Service Sector: A Cross-Country Analysis, 1980–2005

Mulder, Peter; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Pfeiffer, Birte - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

We present a detailed analysis of energy intensity developments across 23 service sectors in 18 OECD countries over the period 1980−2005. We find that the shift towards a service economy has contributed to lower overall energy intensity levels in the OECD, but this contribution would have been...
