| Abstract | Steel is becoming more and more important in the process of
industrialization and economic growth. In this study, an attempt
has been made to estimate an appropriate demand function for
steel in India. The demand function for steel in Indian economy
has been estimated by using the econometric method. Regression
technique is applied to determine the important explanatory
variable affecting the consumption pattern on a national level.
The GNP and Capital Formation have been found to be the most
significant factor.
The analysis of the structural growth and consumption
pattern based on underlying economic factors provide an insight
into the consumption sector. The estimation of demand function
has been carried out using the parameters obtained in the study.
The demand function shows that the demand for steel will follow
an increasing trend in the future years. |
