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 -convergence analysis shows that the development of cross-country variation in productivity performance depends on the...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the energy consumption of inputs and outputs used in the sugar beet production system and to determine the relationship between energy inputs and yield in Iran. To achieve these objectives, data were collected from 153 sugar beet farms selected using...
