One of the crucial is&s of eierg markets id oi’exporting developing countries is the hieh level of subs1.dtes on petroleum products and the low efficiency in energy use. The purpose of-this paper-is to investigate the impacts of a subsidy phase out policy on the energy sector and oil revenues in three countries: Al cria, Iran and Nigeria. By using a standard econometric approach. 8 e authon found that the effects of different deregulation polici’cs are substantial. They also analyse the impact of a policy based on autonomous ener -efftciency improvement. Finally, a combination of both policies is elaBorated and quantified. The results show that a policy geared at more rational use of energy would permit these countries to save enough oil to meet future increases in demand while maintaining stable production capacity.
