MEASUREMENT OF ENERGY USE EFFICIENCY IN LOWER- MIDDLE, UPPER -MIDDLE AND HIGH INCOME COUNTRIES: A DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to measure the energy use efficiency in the low-middle income, the upper-middle income and the high-income countries over the period of 1991 to 2011 using the data envelopment analysis. Energy use efficiency is generally measured by energy intensity which is defined as the ratio of energy use to gross domestic product. However, this ratio or measurement is arguable in the literature and therefore, energy intensity is not a good indicator of energy use efficiency. Energy use efficiency improvements make mention of a decrease in energy used for a given service or level of activity. Hence, it can be measured by either deterministic or non-deterministic approaches within the framework of production theory. The findings of this paper show either energy is used efficiently or inefficiently between lower middle-income countries, upper middle-income countries and high income countries also help to make some policy implications on energy use, because almost all countries are implementing a broad array of policy measures for energy efficiency.
