| Summary: | Energy efficiency in industry is a
crucial topic for Turkey, as the country has an import
dependency of 80 percent in energy. Although the importance
of enhancing energy efficiency in industry is widely
acknowledged, there has not been any study examining the
energy efficiency in Turkish industry at micro level.
Employing a sound decomposition methodology on a firm-level
data set of manufacturing firms, this paper documents that
there was a significant decrease in the energy intensity of
firms over 2005-12. In contrast, structural change across
manufacturing sectors and across firms within sectors had
positive but limited effects on the overall energy
efficiency over the period. |
