该论文记录了法国服务业电力使用的演变以及信息和通信 (IC) 技术的发展。为此，我们整理了两个记录电力消耗和 IC 资本货物扩散的数据集。使用简单的要素需求模型，我们使用数据的时间序列和横截面维度来估计模型的结构参数，并考虑 IC 资本货物对电力生产效率的特定影响。我们获得的稳健结果表明，一旦控制了技术进步、价格和受热地区，生产用电强度就会随着计算机和软件的增加而增加，而随着通信设备的普及而减少。 (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
The paper documents the evolution of electricity use and the development of information and communication (IC) technologies in the French service sector. To that purpose, we put together two data sets documenting electricity consumption and the diffusion of IC capital goods. Using a simple factor demand model, we estimate the structural parameters of the model using both the time series and the cross-sectional dimension of the data, and allow for a specific effect of IC capital goods on the efficiency of electricity in production. We obtain robust results showing that, once controlled for technical progress, prices, and heated areas, electricity intensity of production increases with computers and software, while it decreases with the diffusion of communication device.
