Electrification and Energy Productivity

På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

Energy productivity is crucial for sustainable development.We use cointegration analyses to investigate the effect

of electricity on energy productivity in Swedish industry from 1930 to 1990. Electricity augmented energy

productivity in those industrial branches that used electricity formultiple purposes. This productivity effect goes

beyond “book-keeping effects,” i. e. it is not only the result of electricity being produced in one sector (taking the

energy transformation losses) and consumed in another (receiving the benefits).
