Abstract

The dramatic increase in energy efficiency in the U.S. economy since the early 1970s has been the subject of much study and controversy. Among the factors responsible for improved energy efficiency are better housekeeping measures, technological innovations and a changing product mix. These factors are discussed for the manufacturing sector using published input-output data for the years 1963, 1967 and 1972, and data from the Annual Survey of Manufactures for the years 1975 and 1979. Data for the years 1972, 1975 and 1979 are the most revealing in terms of improved energy efficiency. For the purpose of this analysis, a real IO coefficient was calculated by dividing deflated energy input costs by the deflated value of sector output.
