Calculating economy-wide energy intensity decline rate: The role of sectoral output and energy shares

Determinants of global CO2 emissions growth

“…(3b) calculates the consumption-based CO2 emissions by fuel type o (=coal, oil and gas) because of the final demand in region r (=1,...,n). The WIOD divides sectors and regions into 35 sectors and 41 regions, as shown in Appendix 3 . In addition, given that China has a high dependency on coal and the world's largest CO2 emissions, we separate China from the developing countries group to avoid distorting the picture of developing countries.…”

“…On a century-long basis, Baksi and Green (2007) find that the long-term average annual decline in global energy intensity is unlikely to substantially exceed 1.1%. Given an increase in GDP per capita is very crucial for improving living standards in developing countries, one of the most important ways to curb the growth of CO2 emissions in developing countries is to decrease the carbon intensity of energy, i.e., the de-carbonization of energy consumption (see also, However, the share of renewable energies in global primary energy consumption as a total does not show any signs of increasing, especially in developing countries.…”

Decomposition of Ireland's carbon emissions from 1990 to 2010: An extended Kaya identity

“…Socio-cultural development determines overarching choices such as spatial patterns, transport trends, housing types and lifestyles, in addition to actual behaviour with technology. Studies such as Baksi and Green (2007) attribute changes in energy intensity to economic structure and technical efficiency alone. This appears to reflect an economic focus in the analysis, but a wider focus as a development indicator is necessary as 'energy intensity' encompasses more than 'economic activity.…”

The effect of fossil energy and other environmental taxes on profit incentives for change in an open economy: Evidence from the UK

“…The approach of this paper differs in that it sees competitiveness in highly traded sectors as more the ability to be profitable at prevailing world prices. In this respect, our analysis has even more in common with that of Baksi and Green (2007) who see production changes arising from two sources -(a) a shift in production from energy intensive to other sectors and (b) an increase in energy efficiency of individual sectors.…”
