Pakistan Journal of Applied Economics, 2000, vol. 16, 79-96

Abstract: The paper examines the role of structural changes and improvement in energy efficiency of individual sectors in aggregate energy intensity changes in, Pakistan, during 1960-1998. Using a decomposition approach, this study attempts to provide insights into the changes in the structure of the economy and energy intensity that occurred in the economy, during the period under consideration. The estimation identifies and measures cyclical and trend components for both the structural and intensity indices. The cyclical component is being due to changes in output and the trend component is probably due to .changes in technology and consumer preferences.
