Abstract

Decomposition analysis has been popular in the study on influencing factors of energy consumption. This paper takes a quantitative analysis on factors which affect energy consumption in China during 1980-2006 based on logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI), and examines the factors driving the changes in energy consumption. The research shows the improvement of energy efficiency decreased energy consumption, In addition, the change of industry structure and population exhibit positive effect to the energy consumption increase. According to research, the author suggests energy consumption reduction strategies should aim at accelerate technological innovation and industrial structural adjustments, reform the energy pricing mechanism and perfect energy conservation management system.
