Abstract

The energy-GDP ratio, or ratio of total national primary energy consumption to GDP, is a measure of the Energy Intensity of the economy (henceforward noted as EI). It represents the energy required to generate a unit of national output. Its evolution over time shows whether the economy becomes more or less energy intensive. Projections of national energy demand under different growth scenarios depend upon the explicit or implicit value of this ratio. It can also be used to define an objective of energy policy.
