An investigation of the determinants of energy intensity in emerging market countries
With the rapid economic growth in most Emerging Market Countries, the energy intensity showed a striking decline. To explore this energy puzzle, we evaluated energy intensity reduction in 30 Emerging Market Countries, which were referred to as E30 in this paper. A combined conceptual analysis framew...

With the rapid economic growth in most Emerging Market Countries, the energy intensity showed a striking decline. To explore this energy puzzle, we evaluated energy intensity reduction in 30 Emerging Market Countries, which were referred to as E30 in this paper. A combined conceptual analysis framework was proposed and two main procedures were involved: 1) the aggregate energy intensity of E30 was decomposed into activity mix and national intensity, applying the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) approach; 2) regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between energy price and national intensity following Cobb–Douglas cost function, where the energy price of each country was measured using energy depletion and Brent oil price (as a robust check). The results indicated that national intensity was the main factor of aggregate energy intensity reduction with a contribution share of more than 100%, whether in 27 countries from 1971 to 2016 or 30 countries from 1990 to 2016.
