Description
Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 產業經濟學系 === 85 === Due to the important role played by the energy factor in an economy, andthe high dependence on the imported energy, it is more important for TaiwanGovernment to make a plan for using our energy efficiently. While therealization of our energy supply and demand is obviousllly the first step tomake a good plan. Thereby this paper would like to investigate the oil and gasconsumption transition for fulfilling our knowledge in energy demandforecasting area. The method in this thesis focuses more on the historical backgroundanalysis rather than the econometric analysis only applied by Su Jiun-Suei's thesis. This is because our gas and petroleum upstream industries werecontrolled by the Chinese Petroleum Cooperation (CPC). And it is believed thatthe traditional market oriented model is hard to explain the consumption pathin the past without well-defining those factors dominated by governmentpolicies and many historical economic impacts. After considering all the historical events, it is found that some of theresults and explanation by Su Jiun-Suei were not correct. The new econometricanalysis is used to replace the original one by adding the right impactsincurred by some historical events. And we are happy to find better results inthis thesis.
