The importance of energy quality in energy intensive manufacturing: Evidence from panel cointegration and panel FMOLS
Brant LiddleCentre for Strategic Economic Studies
Victoria UniversityAustralia
Overview
• Use panel cointegration & Pedroni FMOLS to analyze C-D production function (VA, L, K, E)
• Consider disaggregated data (ISIC-two digit)– Chemicals– Iron & steel– Nonferrous metals– Nonmetallic minerals– Pulp & paper
• Consider quality weighted index of energy consumption– Stern (1993 & 2000), Oh & Lee (2004)
Data
• IEA Energy Balances– Energy consumption– Energy prices
• OECD Structural Analysis Database (STAN)– Value added– Labor employed– Physical capital (gross fixed capital formation)
Panels
• Chemicals– 11 countries, 1990-2006
• Iron & steel– 7 countries, 1980-2006
• Nonferrous metals– 6 countries, 1980-2006
• Nonmetallic minerals– 11 countries, 1980-2006
• Pulp & paper– 12 countries, 1978-2007

Energy Quality
• Some forms of energy produce more work than others– Electricity > Oil > Natural gas > Coal
• Prices of the different forms tend to reflect that difference in quality (Berndt 1978)
Energy Quality
• Stern (1993): “quality weighted final energy use … is likely to be a superior measure of the energy input to economic activity as it will reflect better the productivity of the uses to which energy is put.”
• Stern (1993) found for US– Energy quality weighted consumption Granger-
caused GDP
Measuring Energy Quality
• Logged differences weighted by expenditure shares• P: prices & E: quantities consumed of fuels i• Electricity, oil, natural gas, coal, & combustible
renewables and waste
Ratio of Energy Quality to Conventional Energy Consumption

Conclusions• Improvements in energy quality—shift to electricity
important to energy intensive manufacturing– Elasticity of energy quality >> conventionally measured
energy– Importance of energy quality relative to capital & labor
emphasized• Carbon tax’s impact on manufacturing
– Carbon intensity of electricity more important than energy intensity of sector/technology
• More flexible production function– Nonlinear transformation of I(1) terms
