Industrial concentration index has been calculated using Herfindahl-Hirschman method and relative entropy. In this research, the panel data method and the fixed effects model were used to estimate the coefficients of the models. The research findings indicate that between 2002 and 2018, industrial concentration and import of capital goods have a positive and statistically significant effect on the intensity of energy consumption. So that, one percent increase in the share of the industry in the market, increases the intensity of energy consumption between 0,089 to 0.203 percent. Also, the price of energy carriers has a negative effect on the intensity of energy consumption. Considering the inverse relationship between the price of energy carriers and energy intensity and the low elasticity of the price, it is necessary that incrementally raise the energy prices for industries logically causing environmental pollution to decrease their energy intensity. It is suggested that capital goods enter industries that have low energy consumption. Manuscript profile -

The findings indicate that “creative industries” affect the human capital of the countries. The results also display positive effects of production growth, government expenditure, population, and investment on human capital. The coefficient of creative industries in developed countries was found to be greater than in developing countries. As results, it is expected that the influence of creative, cultural, and artistic productions on human capital in these countries will be greater than in developing countries. The findings show that countries have a particular affinity for creative industries. Consequently, increasing focus on these sectors and fortifies the labor force with the necessary expertise to generate innovative goods and services, thereby fostering greater economic growth and prosperity and augmenting employment opportunities.
