China's Energy Strategy Economic Structure, Technological Choices, and Energy Consumption

China has reduced the energy intensity of its economy dramatically. This book explores how this reduction was achieved and determines the major sources of energy savings. Using extensive data, the author examines the impacts of technological and structural changes on energy consumption and identifies the factors that were primarily responsible for the energy-efficiency improvements. It is an interesting work that will be useful for policy makers in assessing the energy consequences of development strategies and for economists in analyzing the relationship between energy use and economic growth.Lin, Xiannuan is the author of 'China's Energy Strategy Economic Structure, Technological Choices, and Energy Consumption' with ISBN 9780275953065 and ISBN 0275953068.
