    This paper evaluates the impact of a policy that was implemented to reduce the energy intensity of firms in some manufacturing sectors in India, on the total factor productivity (TFP) growth of firms and on its components, scale efficiency and technical change. Using plant-level panel data on the cement industry from 2007-2015 and a difference-in-difference methodology, we find that treated plants had higher rates of TFP growth, compared to control plants. This is largely driven by the fact that they expanded their production compared to control plants, even though they experienced lower rates of technical change compared to control plants. To explain this finding, we verify that treated plants attempted to meet the energy-intensity mandate not by reducing their energy consumption, but instead by increasing their output. Our results suggest that energy intensity regulations may not reduce energy consumption, because firms may find other ways to fulfil targets. The policy implications of this study are related to the design of energy-efficiency regulations, particularly in developing countries where firms in some industries may find it difficult to reduce their energy consumption through investment in new energy-efficient technologies or processes.

    SARS-CoV-2 uses human beings as means of transport. In addition to the generProjections of energy intensity are important for the assessment of future energy demand, future emission pathways, and the costs of climate policies. We estimate and simulate energy intensity based on a conditional convergence approach, and show how based on the results the long-run minimum of energy intensity attainable can be estimated. We consider education, urbanization, and institutional factors and find them to positively impact energy intensity improvements. We link the estimated econometric models to an iterative projection model, resulting in a finite long-term lower limit of energy intensity of GDP to be around 0.35MJ/$ at the global level in most SSPs. Yet, by 2100, we estimated that energy intensity below one is hard to achieve based on historical patterns. By 2100, the projected energy intensities are in the range of 1MJ/$ at the global level. These results show that scenarios such as the ones used in the SR15 can be rationalized based on empirically founded projections, and that in particular the very low energy demand scenarios can be considered feasible on empirical grounds. The speed at which such ow values are achievable is however the big question and achieving them will require substantially going beyond historical technical change patterns.
