The impact of total factor productivity on energy consumption: Theoretical framework and empirical validation

This study contributes to the literature on energy demand by developing a theoretical framework, in which energy demand is a function of total factor productivity (TFP) alongside traditional factors such as price and income. The proposed theoretical framework is examined using annual data on energy...
