Measuring plant level energy efficiency and technical change in the U.S. metal-based durable manufacturing sector using stochastic frontier analysis

This study analyzes the electric and fuel energy efficiency for five different metal-based durable manufacturing industries in the United States over the time period 1987–2012, at the 3 digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) level. Using confidential plant-level data on energy u...
