Abstract :In this study, the price and income elasticities of Turkey’s imported crude oil demand are analysed. For this purpose, annual time series data covering the period 1970-2018 are preferred for imported crude oil, real price for crude oil and real GDP. As known, Turkey is an energy dependent country especially in fossil fuels. Therefore, estimating Turkey’s crude oil demand equations is very significant to analyse the consumption trend and the future expectations in terms of this energy resource. This study employs Harvey’s Structural Time Series Modelling Method insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(STSM); with the underlying energy demand trend insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(UEDT); concept for determining the relations among income, price and crude oil import demand. The empirical results show that the income and price elasticities of crude oil demand in Turkey are 0.66 and -0.11, respectively. The estimated elasticities suggest that income and price elasticities for the imported crude oil demand are inelastic.
