Abstract: A decomposition method is used to divide a change in manufacturing energy consumption into three effects: output growth, energy intensity and structural change, using energy-balance tables and manufacturing statistics for 26 selected countries in the period 1973–1980 and 1980–1988. The findings seem to confirm the decoupling of energy and output in developed countries in contrast to the presence of a positive relationship between industrial output and energy consumption in developing countries. Moreover, rapid growth in manufacturing output, coupled with energy-intensive industrialization, seems to be the dominant factor in increasing manufacturing energy consumption in developing countries, while improved energy intensity and less energy-intensive structural change seem to exert a more pronounced dampening impact on manufacturing energy consumption in developed countries than in developing countries.
