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...

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...
