Abstract

This paper investigates the energy intensiveness and the capital intensiveness ofgross domestic products for 17 European market economies and 7 East European economies for the years 1978, 1979, and 1980. Gross domestic products and real capital stocks of all countries are expressed in 1975 U.S. dollars. Energy consumption is likewise measured in internationally comparable units. The Eastern Bloc consumed on average nearly twice as much energy relative to gross domestic product and capital as the market economies. Despite this, aggregate output per worker in the Eastern Bloc averaged only 60% of that in the market economies.
