According to several recent studies, energy is seen as a commodity, due to the
fact that energy sector markets are more like commodity markets. Essentially, it serves as
an enabler of social and economic development and so cannot be neglected. This study,
therefore, estimated the impact of cooking energy cost on energy demand in Nigeria using
the ARDL model and quarterly data spanning from 1990-2018. The result from the study
showed that in the long-run both liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) price and kerosene price
has a negative impact on energy demand. In the short-run, the result remained the same for
kerosene while it reversed for LPG. The study, therefore, recommended that government
should enact policies that will moderate or minimize the cost of cooking energy and
enhance the removal of all forms of barriers in making cooking energy affordable to users
in the country.
