| Abstract | The current financial crisis that has shocked Thailand and caused the economy to
tremble has at least slowed energy consumption and will, undoubtedly, have similar
repercussions on energy demand and supply.
This study analyses the impact of the decreasing investment in the power sector to the
economy using input-output model. Power development plans before and after the financial
crisis has been used to identify the changes of under-implementation power projects. This
study focuses on analyzing the employment, output and income effects as a result of the
changes in spending. A closed input-output model, which can capture the direct, indirect and
induced impacts, is used to estimate employment, output and income multipliers for 27 sectors
of Thailand economy.
Results show that the total output, employment and income decrease due to the
decreasing the projected power capacity in revised power development plan and changes in
the spending apart to reduction. The study shows the negative impacts to the sectors that are
related to installation, construction of power plants and gaining new business orders in the
realization of the new projects. |
