| Abstract | This study investigates the impact of an alternative
automobile strategy (car restriction and public transport
provision) on the demand for energy in the road passenger
transport. Using a simple transport model , the energy demand in
a low car growth scenario was determined and compared with the
base case normal growth scenario. The results were then used as
input to the input-output model in the determination of
macroeconomic and energy impacts.
Results show that a substantial reduction in energy use is
achievable even with a moderate degree of implementation of such
a policy. The macro impacts are, however, not significant owing
to the low domestic content of automobiles assembled in the
Philippines. Most affected are the Motor Vehicles and Petroleum
sectors which registered large decreases in output. An important
implication of this is that, for oil importing developing
countries such as the Philippines, this policy will lead to
savings in much needed foreign currency. |
