Abstract

Changes in Energy Intensity can be seen as related to three factors including income, price, and autonomous Energy Efficiency improvements (based on technical changes and structures). The main goal of this study is to identify the factors determining the Energy Intensity and evaluating the importance of such factors in explaining changes in Energy Intensity for the Iranian economy. As additional purpose, the role of the improvement of Energy Quality in enhancement of Total Factor Productivity and the reduction of Energy Intensity is investigated. Hence, methods such as index Decomposition Technique, ARDL and SVAR (Blanchard-Quah approach) econometrics methods are used for this purpose. Energy Intensity decomposition between 1974-2012 shows that energy consumption inefficiency is the most essential factor forcing the Energy Intensity. According to estimated models results, there is a linear positive relationship between Energy Intensity and real income per capita, and the income elasticity of energy demand is larger than unit. Growth in the industry share of production, increase in Total Factor Productivity, and growth of the relative price of energy in long or short term reduces Energy Intensity. Considering the level of importance, factors related to total productivity, price factor, structural factor, and finally income factor will have more impact on the Energy Intensity, respectively. Moreover the impact of Energy Quality improvement on reduction of Energy Intensity via increasing TFP was confirmed.
