The Survival of the Energy-fittest: Evidence from French Manufacturing Firms 1: University of Bath, United Kingdom; 2: HEC Lausanne, Switzerland In studying the effectiveness of climate policy, previous research has mainly focused on improvements in energy efficiency or emissions within firms. However, aggregate energy intensity may also decline if energy-intensive firms exit or if energy-efficient firms gain market shares from energy-intensive competitors. This paper quantifies the contribution of these selection and reallocation channels to aggregate reductions in energy intensity and emissions. We show that both mechanisms, especially selection, play a stronger role than within-firm improvements in driving aggregate declines. We also show that energy prices can, in part, influence firm-level dynamics to lower aggregate energy intensity and emissions. | |
