摘要:The aim of the current study is to examine the importance of natural gas energy utilization in influencing economic growth using time series data from 1980 to 2017 in Indonesia. In doing so, the current study has adopted the refined methodology of Auto-Regressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) bound testing approach to examine the dynamic relationship among natural gas and economic growth with amplified understanding of the critical association to support the course of economic planning and policy making. The results of ARDL bound testing approach confirm that capital, labor force and natural gas utilization are strong determinants of economic growth in Indonesia. Likewise, the outcomes affirm that natural gas utilization have a constructive and positive effect on economic growth in Indonesia which implies that the natural gas is the main source of economic growth in Indonesia in the long run and short run. Also, the results of variance decomposition method confirm a bi-directional causal relationship between economic growth, natural gas utilization, labor force and capital in Indonesia.
其他摘要:The basic cost of electricity, especially in Indonesian households, has increased in recent years, reaching Rp. 1,467.28 per kilo Watt hour in the present day. In this study, we will analyze the electricity consumption of households by calculating the intensity of energy consumption. The average electricity usage in the households of 22 respondents in the Pisma Asri housing complex, Indonesia, ranged from 250 to 450 kilo Watt hour, at an average monthly cost of approximately Rp 250,000–600,000. The average electricity intensity (2–5 kilo Watt hour/ m 2 ) was below 10kilo Watt hour / m 2 , within reasonable limits. Air conditioners hadthe highest electricity consumption, accounting for 31% of the average electricity usage, followed by refrigerator sand lighting bulbs, which accounted for 26% and 14% of the electricity usage, respectively. From these results, we recommend some measures with which households can reduce their energy consumption and be relieved from some of the burdensome costs imposed by electricity supply companies. Keywords : electricity rates, household electricity consumption, electricity consumption intensity. JEL Classifications : O310, O320 DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.7543
