Abstract: The Energy Efficiency, Intensity, and Dependence (EEID) theory provides a multidimensional and interdisciplinary framework for describing the complicated interplay between energy dynamics and economic complexity. The theory, however, takes a broad view of the situation, giving emphasis to the finance–growth–energy nexus in particular. The dependence of countries on energy is classified into groups, and this complexity highlights the interplay between rising oil imports and growing energy dependency. The composite index that has been devised considers the three key factors, namely energy efficiency, intensity, and dependency, for each parameter. The graphical portrayal clearly stresses the impact of exogenous shocks and policy interventions with an emphasis on how these interactions have evolved over the years. Besides contributing to the academic discussion on the complexity of energy–economic ties, the EEID theory offers a highly elaborated analytical tool for creating complex and efficient policies that address energy problems and sustainable economic development.
