Abstract
The study utilised a data set of South Asian countries of energy
pricing (E.P.), carbon emission, and policy mix between 1990 and
2020. A comprehensive set of models from econometric such as
fixed effect (F.E.), and panel quantile regression (P.Q.R.) is used to
determine the relationship between underline indicators.
Furthermore, the T.O.P.S.I.S. method from operational research
was applied to determine the efficiency level of these factors in
the South Asian region. E.P. and carbon emission are contributing
positively to the process of household consumption (H.C.). In the
policy mix scenario, H.C. is positively associated with inflation
while negatively with the tax rate. Furthermore, the outcomes of
the T.O.P.S.I.S. indicate that Bhutan is performing efficiently in the
said parameters followed by Pakistan, while India’s performance is
not impressive in this regard. This study can be helpful to policymakers
for effective energy demand planning, conservation, and
frame policies that would ensure sustainable H.C. and serve as
motivation to search for alternative energy sources to meet the
growing energy demand.
