This study aims to analyze the oil demand of 49 countries which are net energy importers in the 1990-2016 period within the framework of panel data model. Countries are considered in two panels as high and low energy importing countries according to how much energy they import of their consumption. Income and price elasticities of oil demand for 26 high energy importing countries (Panel A) and 23 low energy importing countries (Panel B) were calculated. The results show that income elasticity of oil demand is positive and significant for both panels, and price elasticity is negative and significant again for both panels. In addition, price elasticity was lower than income elasticity for both panels. Another finding is that high energy importing country panel (Panel A) has lower price elasticity (-0.03) than low energy importing country panel (Panel B), (-0.41). Similarly, the income elasticity of the high-energy importing country panel (Panel A) (1.18) was calculated to be high than that of the low-energy importing country panel (Panel B), (1.04). Based on these results, some important policy implications have been proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
