By replacing the coarse aggregate with pumice stone while using sand as a substitute for fine aggregate, a well-balanced and workable concrete mix can be achieved. In conclusion, the use of pumice stone as a substitute material for coarse aggregate in concrete production offers several advantages [ 13 ].
In the case of Ghana, there are few studies that have attempted to estimate electricity demand, but at the aggregate level (see Adom and Bekoe, 2013; Adom, 2013; Mensah et al., 2016).
The acceleration of aggregate consumption worldwide during the twentieth century can be thus linked with enor-mously increased consumption of concrete which replaced most of …

In this paper, we estimate an import demand function for Ghana for the period 1970 to 2002, as well as consider the time series properties of the data.
The study focused on the suitability of non-conventional waste materials, including palm kernel shell, broken glass, discarded truck tyre and sawdust, as coarse aggregate for concrete production.
The current study examines the relationship between the world oil price and aggregate demand in a developing country, Ghana, via the interest rate channel by means of cointegration analysis. Results of the study indicate that oil price—by impacting the price level positively—negatively impacts real output. The results also indicate that monetary …
The study shows inelastic import demand for all the expenditure components and relative price. In the long-run, investment and exports are the major determinant of movements in imports in Ghana. In the short run and government consumption expenditures is the major determinant of import demand.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of aggregate and dis-aggregated import demand for Ghana for the period from 1985 to 2015. Design/methodology/approach The study employed the autoregressive distributed lag bounds testing approach. Findings The long-run finding show that aggregate import …
The Aggregate Demand Curve. Aggregate demand, or AD, refers to the amount of total spending on domestic goods and services in an economy. Strictly speaking, AD is what economists call total planned expenditure. We'll talk about that more in other articles, but for now, just think of aggregate demand as total spending.
Sand, gravel, and crushed stone are the most mined materials on Earth. Aggregates constitute the foundation for modern civilization and are essential for providing shelter, …
The results showed that an average of 102,000 cubic meters of crushed stone aggregate is produced by each of the 178 registered quarries in Ghana per annum; and this …
Amid a steadily growing demand for construction aggregates as Guyana is in the midst of a construction boom, over 4.2 million tonnes in construction aggregates (sand and stone) were declared in the 2023 first half.
This study uses the autoregressive distributed-lag (ARDL) estimation approach to investigate the key drivers of import demand in South Africa for the period 1985 to 2015. Unlike other previous studies, the study estimates four models: aggregate import demand, import demand for consumer goods, import demand for intermediate goods, and import …
The aim of this research was to investigate the production and the consumption levels of crushed rock aggregates in Ghana. The sampling technique used was judgmental or purposive sampling.
An aggregate import demand function for India: a cointegration analysis. Dilip Dutta * Nasiruddin Ahmed. Economics. 2004. This paper investigates the behaviour of Indian aggregate imports during the period 1971–1995. In the empirical analysis of the aggregate import demand function for India, cointegration and error….
Industry efficiency is the only factor that drives aggregate domestic electricity demand downwards. However, the negative efficiency effect is insufficient to have outweighed the positive income, output, and demographic effects, hence the continual growth in aggregate domestic electricity demand.

The construction boom in Ghana, driven by infrastructure development projects and urbanization, is fueling the demand for construction aggregates. Aggregates such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone are essential materials in construction activities, driving growth in the construction aggregates market.
In addition, in many areas, crushed stone quarries have high demand for clean coarse aggregate sizes, but that leads to the challenge of how to best use the excess crushed fine aggregate and oversize rock materials on a sustainable basis so that aggregate resources can be used more effectively locally for highway construction and improvements.
