Abstract
This chapter is organized as follows: Sect. 8.1 presents the estimated decompositions of energy intensity for firstly, the aggregate economy, followed by the industrial economy (Sect. 8.2). Section 8.3 compares the aggregate economy and industry economy results in order to uncover the differences driving energy intensity in practice. Section 8.4 provides further discussion of these results and what can be learnt from them by providing more empirical background information. The final Sect. 8.5 presents some implications and conclusions. The chapter uses methodologies presented in Chap. 4 and the data are described inChap. 5.
