Abstract

A linear model of the demand for oil is derived from a cost minimisation problem in which demand depends on the price of oil, the price of coal and output. The model is estimated and tested against a log-linear model. The empirical results reject the log-linear specification and show that the demand for oil is highly inelastic.
