ABSTRACT
Many countries seek economic growth by means of more energy use from energy imports. Because
such imports entail risk as they are controlled by energy exporters, this research establishes a model
for energy resilience estimation in order to understand energy risk. The samples in this study are
27 member countries of the European Union (EU), and we divide them into 8 Baltic Sea region (BSR)
countries and 19 non-Baltic Sea region (NBSR) countries. The findings are as follows. (i) During
the data period, BSR and NBSR exhibit the phenomenon of energy vulnerability. (ii) BSR presents
stronger energy resilience than NBSR. (iii) Denmark and Sweden in BSR and Ireland and Luxembourg
in NBSR have the best energy resilience. (iv) Strong energy resilience needs high marginal product
of energy, high output efficiency, and low energy dependency growth rate for support.
