碩士 === 嶺東科技大學 === 高階主管企管碩士在職專班 === 101 === The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting the gassing volume of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) so as to know the actual influences resultant from the existing LPG subsidy policy of all kinds. Based upon the phase of change of LPG price subsidy policy in this study, it is divided into three stages – the fixed unit subsidy stage since January 2007 to December 2010, the fixed price difference subsidy stage since January 2011 to July 2012, and the combined subsidy stage covering all that time after January 2007. By means of the relevant analysis, we discovered the variables affecting the gassing volume before establishing multiple regression models to affirm the influence upon various interpretations of variables. The study concluded by finding when oil price goes up, gas stations increase, and economy booms, the newly increased number of converted LPG vehicles all positively affect the LPG filling volume, and the LPG price subsidy does, on the contrary, not conspicuously cast its influence upon the volume. Therefore, we suggest the government shall go on with its aids to converted vehicles and newly set up gassing stations if the desired hybrid (duo-fuel) vehicles extension is at issue so that the number of gassing stations and converted vehicles might be increased to achieve the goal of air-pollution improvement through boosting gassing volume. In comparison with other countries, it is suggested that the unit price subsidy shall be increased to reflect the effect if our country is to carry out the LPG price subsidy.
