Energy use in manufacturing: Early structural and technological adjustment to the 1973-74 energy price shock
The U.S. input-output tables for 1972 and 1977 are used to examine the early adjustment of the manufacturing sector to the first energy price shock of 1973-1974. Input-output analysis is particularly useful in examining this adjustment because indirect as well as direct energy use may be calculated. Important trends during the 1972-77 period were a decrease in energy used per dollar of output in both primary (coal and petroleum/gas extraction) and the secondary use of refined petroleum and natural gas, and little overall change in electricity intensity with almost half the manufacturing industries showing an increase in electricity input-output coefficients. Also of interest is the fact that a small number of industries dominate the pattern of energy use in manufacturing. The chemical industry, primary metals, and motor vehicles account for one-third of total manufacturing energy use.
