Determinants of Regional Energy Demand: Dynamic Shift Share Analysis -- 4. Energy Efficiency and Productivity -- 5. Determinants of Energy Efficiency: Stochastic Frontier Analysis.This book describes structural analysis methods for examining energy demand and energy efficiency that are important in formulating regional economic and environmental policies. Beginning with ways of ascertaining regional energy demand, it describes methods for developing energy efficiency indicators and their determinants. Fluctuations in regional energy demand are largely explained by analyzing variations in energy intensity, and there is a strong association between energy efficiency indicators and energy intensity. The energy efficiency indicator proposed is consistent with fluctuations in energy intensity and is highly accurate. According to the empirical analysis using this indicator, energy efficiency is high in regions where population concentration has risen, as typified by "compact cities." As such, the book highlights the need to increase regional energy efficiency, to achieve regional economic growth despite growing environmental constraints, and the importance of forming and developing clusters to this end. The book is a valuable resource for planners, researchers and government employees.SpringerBriefs in Energy,2191-5539Energy policyEnergy policyEnvironmental economicsRegional economicsSpace in economicsEconomic geographyEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementEnvironmental EconomicsRegional and Spatial EconomicsEconomic GeographyEnergy policy.Energy policy.Environmental economics.Regional economics.Space in economics.Economic geography.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Environmental Economics.Regional and Spatial Economics.Economic Geography.333.790952Otsuka Akihiroauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut852712MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910253977703321Regional Energy Demand and Energy Efficiency in Japan1998326UNINA
