| Export diversification means the increase of export items by a country, depending on the level of growth, industrial development and economic structure of that country, it can have positive or negative effects on energy intensity in that country. The aim of this study is to investigate the threshold effect of industrialization on the relationship between export diversity and energy intensity in Iran during the period from 1965 to 2022. For this purpose, a smooth transition regression model (STAR) is estimated with a threshold level, where the level of industrialization is chosen as the transition variable. The results show that the industrialization index variable can play an important role in changing the coefficients in the energy intensity pattern as a transmission variable. Thus, in the early stages of industrialization, the increase in export diversity led to a decrease in energy intensity, and after the economy passed a certain level of industrialization, with the increase in export diversity, due to the entry of industrial products with higher energy into the export basket, energy intensity has also gone up. It was also observed that urbanization has a negative and significant effect on energy intensity. |
