Abstract: This study investigates the effect of natural resource dependence on energy intensity of 75 countries between 1993 through 2015 in the aggregate level. Natural resource dependence is measured using four different proxies; the ratio of fuel export to GDP and total export, the ratio of mineral resource rent to GDP, and the ratio of natural resource rent to GDP. The effects of these proxies on energy intensity of countries are estimated using Arellano-Bond estimator. The results show a positive effect of subsoil resource dependence on energy intensity of countries. However, this effect is reversed once the forest resource rents are added to the measure of resource dependence. These effects are robust with respect to changes in weather and energy price proxies.
