1. Powering Sustainable Growth: Investigating Energy Efficiency in Chilean Industry through Decomposition Analysis
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : This research aims to study the energy efficiency of the Chilean industry sector using decomposition analysis methods to understand energy intensity decoupling from economic output. The study focuses on the industry sector, the biggest energy consumer, and utilises a dataset that specifies subindustries' energy consumption and economic contribution to GDP. READ MORE

2. The Key Drivers of the Final Energy Consumption in the Italian and Swedish Residential Sector
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : This thesis analyses the energy consumption of the Italian and Swedish residential sector during the last two decades. It has two main purposes: (1) to test the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis that stipulate a decoupling relation between environmental harm and economic growth and (2) to investigate on four factors that could explain such decoupling relation.

3. Sectoral Decomposition of Technology-adjusted CO2 Emissions from International Trade in China 1999-2009
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : In the context of increasing focus on the climate change China is being blamed for its large contribution to global CO2 emissions, which have been produced within China’s territory. However, increasing number of researches have started to argue that the developed countries should be held responsible for displacing their emissions by outsourcing pollution-heavy production to the developing countries.

5. What are the key drivers of CO2 emissions in Denmark from 1980 to 2012? A decomposition analysis using the LMDI approach.
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : By using a decomposition method of LMDI, this paper identifies the drivers behind the changes of the CO2 emissions level in Denmark between 1980 and 2012. By looking at four driving factors such as activity effect, structural change, technological change and CO2 emissions intensity, enables the study to find what drives and impact the changes in CO2 emissions in each sector and thereby also in the total level.
