Electrification and Energy Productivity

In English Energy productivity is crucial for sustainable development.We use cointegration analyses to investigate the effect
of electricity on energy productivity in Swedish industry from 1930 to 1990. Electricity augmented energy
productivity in those industrial branches that used electricity formultiple purposes. This productivity effect goes
beyond “book-keeping effects,” i. e. it is not only the result of electricity being produced in one sector (taking the
energy transformation losses) and consumed in another (receiving the benefits).
