Dr. Munasinghe emphasizes the importance of coordinated energy planning and pricing in less developed countries with particular reference to the interrelationships among the pricing policies adopted in various energy subsectors--electric power, petroleum, natural gas, coal, and traditional fuels (e.g., firewood, crop residues, and dung).
