Abstract

This paper analyzes changes in the energy cost of goods and service production in the Japanese economy in the decade 1975-85. It develops an input-output scheme which explicitly and exhaustively decomposes changes in a sector`s embodied energy intensity into three causative components: the effect of changes in direct energy efficiency, the effect of fuel substitution, and the effect of changes in non-energy inputs. The application of this model to the Japanese experience found that during the 1975-85 period Japan`s energy conservation efforts moved from an initial emphasis on improving direct energy input efficiency towards a stage of reducing the indirect energy requirements by shifting away from energy intensive inputs. Chemical sectors and metal product sectors led in energy cost reduction in the Japanese economy.
