MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: We investigate the relationship between energy prices and manufacturing competitiveness at the industry level. Drawing on panel data spanning the mid-1990s to the 2010s from an extensive multi-sector dataset, we shed light on the nonlinear dynamics between energy prices and the sector-level performance of manufacturing industries. Our findings link to ongoing work on the effect of energy prices on firm-level performance by highlighting considerable sector-specific heterogeneity, indicating the complex and intricate relationship between economic performance and the cost of energy.
