What drives energy intensity change has been a hot topic in energy economics. This paper presents a comprehensive framework combining index decomposition analysis (IDA) and production-theoretical decomposition analysis (PDA) for investigating the mechanisms of change of energy intensity. The...

We estimated the reduction potential of carbon dioxide emissions in the Chinese textile industry by forecasting the carbon intensity (CO2 emissions/industrial value added) in different scenarios. The Johansen co-integration technique was employed in order to establish the long term equilibrium...
