Book excerpt: This study examines ways in which residents of Canadian cities are affected by increases in petroleum prices. The authors apply economic models of residential and industrial location to determine the response of individuals and firms to higher oil prices in the short run and the long run. The short run effects include conservation of higher price petroleum products and reduction in other expenditures; the long run effects include movement closer to employment centres, changes in urban densities, rents, and house prices, and the substitution of other forms of transit. The implications for municipal zoning, the provision of parks, the location of schools and other public facilities, and plans for road building and expressways are also considered.

This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the response of consumer price inflation to changes in domestic fuel prices, looking at the different categories of the overall consumer price index (CPI). We then combine household survey data with the CPI components to construct a CPI index for the poorest and richest income quintiles with the view to assess the distributional impact of the pass-through. To undertake this analysis, the paper provides an update to the Global Monthly Retail Fuel Price Database, expanding the product coverage to premium and regular fuels, the time dimension to December 2020, and the sample to 190 countries. Three key findings stand out. First, the response of inflation to gasoline price shocks is smaller, but more persistent and broad-based in developing economies than in advanced economies. Second, we show that past studies using crude oil prices instead of retail fuel prices to estimate the pass-through to inflation significantly underestimate it. Third, while the purchasing power of all households declines as fuel prices increase, the distributional impact is progressive. But the progressivity phases out within 6 months after the shock in advanced economies, whereas it persists beyond a year in developing countries.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As crude oil prices reach new highs, there is renewed concern about how external shocks will affect growth and poverty in developing countries. This paper describes a macro-micro framework for examining the structural and distributional consequences of a significant external shock-an increase in the world price of oil-on the South African economy. The authors merge results from a highly disaggregative computable general equilibrium model and a micro-simulation analysis of earnings and occupational choice based on socio-demographic characteristics of the household. The model provides changes in employment, wages, and prices that are used in the micro-simulation. The analysis finds that a 125 percent increase in the price of crude oil and refined petroleum reduces employment and GDP by approximately 2 percent, and reduces household consumption by approximately 7 percent. The oil price shock tends to increase the disparity between rich and poor. The adverse impact of the oil price shock is felt by the poorer segment of the formal labor market in the form of declining wages and increased unemployment. Unemployment hits mostly low and medium-skilled workers in the services sector. High-skilled households, on average, gain from the oil price shock. Their income rises and their spending basket is less skewed toward food and other goods that are most affected by changes in oil prices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of alternative forms of energy supply since the mid-1970s has brought with it a range of new issues and concerns, ranging from nuclear waste disposal to land use planning for energy efficiency. This latest volume in the acclaimed Energy Policy Studies series brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers to examine the relationship between energy and planning policy, with emphasis on urban and regional impacts.Like other volumes in the series, the articles included focus on the social, political, and economic dimensions of energy technology, resources, and use. The emphasis on issues of technological scale, resource allocation, environmental impact and quality, and urban and regional studies makes this a unique contribution to the literature.Contents: "Creating Land-Energy Transitions," by Andrew F.

This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction: This volume is dedicated to the remarkable career of Professor Peter Schmidt and the role he has played in mentoring us, his PhD students. Peter’s accomplishments are legendary among his students and the profession. Each of the papers in this Festschrift is a research work executed by a former PhD student of Peter’s, from his days at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to his time at Michigan State University. Most of the papers were presented at The Conference in Honor of Peter Schmidt, June 30 - July 2, 2011. The conference was largely attended by his former students and one current student, who traveled from as far as Europe and Asia to honor Peter. This was a conference to celebrate Peter’s contribution to our contributions. By “our contributions” we mean the research papers that make up this Festschrift and the countless other publications by his students represented and not represented in this volume. Peter’s students may have their families to thank for much that is positive in their lives. However, if we think about it, our professional lives would not be the same without the lessons and the approaches to decision making that we learned from Peter. We spent our days together at Peter’s conference and the months since reminded of these aspects of our personalities and life goals that were enhanced, fostered, and nurtured by the very singular experiences we have had as Peter’s students. We recognized in 2011 that it was unlikely we would all be together again to celebrate such a wonderful moment in ours and Peter’s lives and pledged then to take full advantage of it. We did then, and we are now in the form of this volume.

This book was released on 2009-08-28 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon of oil prices increase due to oil subsidy reduction is a crucial and dilemmatic issue for developing countries such as Indonesia. This is because the magnitude of the resulting effects of rising oil prices is not merely related to the shrinkage of the government expenditure burden in the future, but also triggers off a set of negative consequences on all aspects of economic sectors. Moreover, it also directly or indirectly engenders a tricky situation on socio-economic households in term of welfarereducing both in rural and urban regions. Most of the theoretical viewpoints are tightly highlighted that an increase in oil prices will induce elevated living cost for certain household groups in the society (the living standards of both poor and vulnerable household groups mostly at middle income households fall down). It implies that the impact of oil prices increase will concurrently push the inflation rate to a higher and higher level (spiral inflation), the purchasing power of households as indicated by the rate of households’ real income worsens in the near future below a certain threshold (poverty line). At long last those with little income will be trapped into the poverty circle (vicious circle of oil prices increase). The households are openly vulnerable to be trapped into poverty and the poor who are already in the poverty trap will be the poorest (chronic poverty). There is an unambiguous relationship between oil prices increase as one of the urgent government policies and the households’ real income decline. This study attempts to investigate the impact of oil prices increase on the poor at regional level in particular in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) province. To get an in-depth understanding of this issue, the study utilizes three approaches to capture the micro and macro impact of oil prices increase on the poor: the Descriptive Analysis Approach (DAA) supported by the primary data from field research, the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) approach as well as the Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model by comparing two periods of SAM data (2002 and 2005). It is also important to underline that the oil prices will be more focused on this study is solely three types of oil prices: gasoline, diesel, and kerosene prices. Four specific conclusions of the study are as follows: (1) The main socio-economic characteristics of the poor being vulnerable to the oil prices increase are greater household size, profession as a farmer, lower education, and unskilled labor (2) Government’s action to reduce subsidy on oil will generate oil stock scarcity which picks up the pace of the oil prices in the community exceeding the government oil price declaration throughout the scarcity; (3) The oil prices increase highly leads to inequality in income distribution across institutions as indicated by the different accounting multiplier and the real income alteration of institution, particularly rural and urban households which is caused by larger indirect effect than direct effect. (4) In general, the depressing shock of the oil prices increase highly affects real income of all household groups in urban areas, but at the end of the impact process it will be negatively experienced by the households in rural areas through higher inflation rate, especially the poorest and poor households. Afterwards, they are openly trapped into chronic poverty. In addition, rural middle-income households are more vulnerable to poverty than those in urban areas. Therefore, these are key reasons why the poverty rate in Aceh still remains at high level every year.

Book excerpt: This issue brings together a collection of papers that provide economic insights into the modern energy market, which is still dominated by crude oil but has expanded to incorporate new energy sources in the form of coal, natural gas, and a mixture of renewable energy sources. Given the differences in the dynamics at play with different energy sources, particularly in relation to price determination, the impact they have on the environment, their importance in the energy mix and energy policy, and so forth, it has become imperative to check their behavior using economic models. Papers 1–3 provide some perspective on oil price determination by focusing on the time-varying nature of supply shocks linked to oil producers (Paper 1), OPEC’s announcements (2), and the heterogeneous interconnections of supply or demand shocks over time horizons and different countries (3). Papers 4–6 compare different energy sources within the energy market and other markets (4); explore the importance of energy storage in the electricity market (5); and examine the dynamic relationship between prices of substitutes (oil price) on the natural gas market in China (6). The final four studies examine the impact of renewable and nonrenewable energy on the macroeconomy and the environment.
