Energy Demand in Five Major Asian Developing Countries: Structure and Prospects

摘要

The objectives of the present study are: (1) to examine the structures and trendsin energy demand in five major developing countries of Asia (China, India, Indonesia, Korea and Thailand) by sector and subsector, (2) to evaluate the energy policies of these countries, (3) to evaluate the extent to which energy conservation efforts could be undertaken, (4) to estimate through quantitative analysis key income and price elasticities explore practicable policy measures and technical applications to promote efficient energy use in these countries.
