Energy is used in almost all production and consumption activities, and energy price changes induce significant spillover effects throughout the economic system. More importantly, stable and affordable access to energy is a critical factor in determining the rate of capital accumulation in a domestic economy and, hence, labor productivity growth. The expansion of production per hour worked is achieved by using more and higher quality capital, which requires more energy to operate. This book aims to provide robust observational facts on energy productivity improvement (EPI) and to analyze the mechanisms of EPI achieved in Japan?s economic growth from 1955 to 2019. Linking the productivity account with energy statistics enables us to attempt not only to develop a better indicator of energy productivity but also toevaluate the EPI with other significant changes in the production process, such as capital productivity, labor productivity, and even the overall efficiency measured in terms of total factor productivity. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers seeking to understand the role of energy throughout the economy and for economic planners seeking to ensure the efficient use of energy now and into the future. 410 0$aEconomics and Finance Series 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aEconomic Growth 606 $aEnvironmental Economics 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 14$aEconomic Growth. 615 24$aEnvironmental Economics. 676 $a338.952 700 $aNomura$b Ko?ji$01274832 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910637731203321 996 $aEnergy Productivity and Economic Growth$93003826 997 $aUNINA
