| Tiivistelmä: | The change in manufacturing carbon dioxide emissions in the period 1973-1987 is explained for nine OECD countries. Carbon dioxide emissions are estimated from energy use data. The manufacturing emissions estimates show a reduction of 21.8 p.c. in the period, equivalent to - 1.7 p.c. per year. A Divisia index approach was used to explain the reduction in aggregate manufacturing carbon dioxide intensity for the nine countries. It was found that the strongest contribution comes from the general reduction in energy intensity most likely driven by increasing energy prices and economic growth resulting in technological progress, more efficient capital equipment and new industrial processes. |
