Input-Output Analysis of the Structure of Energy Demand/Supply in China

Abstract

According to the development of China' s economy, studies of energy issues have been regarded as an important and long-term subject. This paper analyses the relationship among the primary energy, secondary energy, and the non-energy sectors in China by using the three-blocks inverse matrix decomposition approach. It gives more detailed analysis of the intersectoral influences among the three-blocks in contrast with the approach of Leontief inverse matrix.
