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...

aggregate energy intensity dynamics. A convergence analysis reveals that only after 1995 cross-country variation in aggregate … convergence in Services. Moreover, we find evidence for the hypothesis that across sectors lagging countries are catching-up with … leading countries, with rates of convergence on average being higher in Services than in Manufacturing.

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...

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...
