Regression analysis is used to detect and quantify the gross consequences for energy use of structural differences in the pulp and paper industries of the OECD countries. It is shown that changes in the specific energy use with time are explicable in terms of the concentration of production. Size and learning effects on paper making machines are detected and quantified.
