Oil and Energy Demand in Developing Countries in 1990,

Abstract

In the study on which this paper is based, we try to develop some reasonable forecasts of NOLDC energy demands in the next 10 years. Our focus is mainly on the demand for oil, but we also give some attention to the total commercial energy requirements of these countries. We have tried to be explicit about the uncertainties associated with our forecasts, and with the income and price elasticities on which they are based. Finally, we consider the forecasts in terms of their implications for U. S. policies concerning the NOLDCs, and suggest areas of future research on NOLDC energy issues.
