Abstract

This study aims at examining factors affecting energy consumption and carbon intensity in agriculture sector. To get this aim, data for 1353-1391 (1974-2012) were applied. Factors affecting energy and carbon intensity in agriculture sector are per capita GDP, energy price, labor, per capita capital and capital growth. Findings of the study showed that per capita GDP and labor- per capita capital ratio had  negative effect on energy consumption intensity, however capital accumulation led to higher carbon emissions.
