An input/output analysis of energy use change from 1947 to 1958, 1958 to 1963 and 1963 to 1967
Abstract
The energy used to produce a real dollar of output in 1947, 1958, 1963, and 1967 for thirty energy consuming sectors is computed. The energy used by four energy producing sectors to produce a given amount of energy output is also calculated. Similar computations are made per unit of final demand. Diverse trends exist among the sectors considered. Some sectors, such as rubber and miscellaneous plastics show a continuing decrease in the amount of energy required per unit of output or final demand. A number of sectors, such as agriculture showed decreasing energy intensity through 1963 and greater energy intensity in 1967.
