『Abstract
Energy metrics is the development of a whole new theoretical
framework for the conception and measurement of energy and economic
system performances, energy efficiency and productivity improvements
with important political economy implications consistent with
the best use of all natural and economic resources. The purpose
of this research is to present some vital energy indicators based
on magnitude and scale of energy weakness, GDP per barrel of oil
that is an indicator of energy productivity and barrels (of oil)
per capita that is an indicator of energy efficiency. Energy metrics
can support the monitoring of energy and economic system performances
in order to design effective energy strategy and political economy
interventions focused on the “competitive advantage” increase
of countries in modern economies.
Keywords: Energy metrics; Energy productivity; Energy efficiency』
