Abstract:

  • Demand for oil is price inelastic in the long‐run (‐0.552).
  • The relationship between oil demand and income is insignificant in the long run.
  • As electricity consumption increases by 1%, the demand for oil rises by 1.43%.
  • Need to determine if investments in alternative sources can offset demand for oil.
  • Investment in alternative resources may be required before gains are realised.
