DOES THE ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION DETERMINE THE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND ENERGY PRICES IN ASEAN COUNTRIES?

Abstract:

The general objective of this study is to estimate the relationship between electricity consumption, economic performance and the price of electricity in four sectors namely the industrial, commercial, mining and agricultural by using the panel data approach on leading ASEAN countries. The present study intends to contribute significantly to the existing literature by presenting a comprehensive approach of the issue of electricity consumption in Thailand. The information of electricity consumption in the industrial, commercial, agricultural and mining sectors is essential to understand the magnitude of the sectors' sensitivity to change with respect to GDP and electricity price. Moreover, real electricity price is incorporated in this study to provide a more consistent result. The findings are important for researchers and academicians by providing a better knowledge of sectoral electricity demand to permit better regulatory decisions in order to facilitate economic efficiency. Apparently for the policy makers, it will be possible that the approach of this study could be useful as a guideline to facilitate the adoption of a more appropriate model for electricity demand management as well as restructuring the electricity sectors. Furthermore, the findings of this study will be helpful in the formulation of effective energy and pricing policies in order to encourage consumers towards the efficient use of energy for the future of sustainable energy and development.

Keywords: electricity consumption; economic growth; energy prices.

Education Quality Management by Encouraging Wellbeing and Discouraging Inequality among Society

Abstract:
The objective of the study is to promote sustainable development goals through education quality management. The role of well-being and inequality was also considered. To attain the objective of this study, a survey was preferred. Survey questionnaires were distributed among the universities of Thailand. A total number of 382 survey questionnaires were used in the survey. Partial Least Square (PLS) was preferred to analyse the collected data. Findings proved that education quality management has a positive role to play in promoting sustainable development goals in Thailand. In addition, it is found that education quality management plays a positive role in enhancing well-being and decreasing inequality among society, which ultimately positively affects the promotion of sustainable development goals. An increase in well-being increases the sustainable development goals, however, an increase in inequality decreases the sustainable development goals. Therefore, the government of Thailand should focus on university education quality management to promote sustainable development goals by encouraging well-being and discouraging inequality among society.

Keywords: Sustainable development goals, quality education, well-being, inequality.
