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.

Download or read book The Distributional Implications of the Impact of Fuel Price Increases on Inflation written by Mr. Kangni R Kpodar and published by International Monetary Fund. 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.

Download or read book The Impact of Price Changes on the Poor in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province Indonesia A Case Study on Oil Prices written by Sofyan Syahnur and published by Cuvillier Verlag. 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.

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 2017 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A global computable general equilibrium model is used to analyze the economic impacts of rising oil prices with endogenously determined availability of biofuels to mitigate those impacts. The negative effects on the global economy are comparable to those found in other studies, but the impacts are unevenly distributed across countries/regions or sectors. The agricultural sectors of high-income countries, which are relatively energy intensive, would suffer more from rising oil prices than would those in lower-income countries, whereas the reverse is true for the impacts across manufacturing sectors. The impacts are especially strong for oil importers with relatively energy-intensive manufacturing and trade, such as India and China. Although the availability of biofuels does mitigate some of the negative impacts of rising oil prices, the benefit is small because the capacity of biofuels to economically substitute for fossil fuels on a large scale remains limited.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides evidence of the causal impact of oil discoveries on development. Novel data on the drilling of 20,000 oil wells in Brazil allows us to exploit a quasi-experiment: Municipalities where oil was discovered constitute the treatment group, while municipalities with drilling but no discovery are the control group. The results show that oil discoveries significantly increase per capita GDP and urbanization. We find positive spillovers to non-oil sectors, specifically, an increase in services GDP which stems from higher output per worker. The results are consistent with greater local demand for non-tradable services driven by highly paid oil workers.

This book was released on 1995-04-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we use micro panel data to examine the effects of oil price changes on employment and real wages, at the aggregate and industry levels. We also measure differences in the employment and wage responses for workers differentiated on the basis of skill level. We find that oil price increases result in a substantial decline in real wages for all workers, but raise the relative wage of skilled workers. The use of panel data econometric techniques to control for unobserved heterogeneity is essential to uncover this result, which is completely hidden in OLS estimates. We find that changes in oil prices induce changes in employment shares and relative wages across industries. However, we find little evidence that oil price changes cause labor to consistently flow into those sectors with relative wage increases.
