Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to decompose the impacting factors of production element endowment (PEE) on energy intensity in China’s industries in 2000–2015. This is vital for China’s policy-making in terms of the development of low-energy-consumption (LEC) industries under relatively rapid industrialization and urbanization. This study contributes to the comprehensive investigation of PEE’s impact on energy intensity (EI), which can bridge the existing literature gap.
