Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Government Printing Office (GPO) was created in June 1860, and is an agency of the U.S. federal government based in Washington D.C. The office prints documents produced by and for the federal government, including Congress, the Supreme Court, the Executive Office of the President and other executive departments, and independent agencies. A hearing is a meeting of the Senate, House, joint or certain Government committee that is open to the public so that they can listen in on the opinions of the legislation. Hearings can also be held to explore certain topics or a current issue. It typically takes between two months up to two years to be published. This is one of those hearings.

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.

Book excerpt: The high price of gasoline has been and continues to be a driving factor in consideration of energy policy proposals. Despite passage of the massive Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005, P.L. 109-58), and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (H.R. 6, P.L. 110-140), numerous other proposed initiatives remain under active consideration in the 110th Congress. Measures proposed include repeal of some tax benefits to domestic oil and gas producers contained in EPACT2005, provisions on price gouging, and reform of oil and gas leasing in the Gulf of Mexico. A large number of factors have combined to put pressure on gasoline prices, including increased world demand for crude oil and limited U.S. refinery capacity to supply gasoline. The war and continued violence in Iraq added uncertainty, and threats of supply disruption have added pressure, particularly to the commodity futures markets. Concern that speculation has added volatility and upward pressure has frequently been cited. This book tries to identify the apparent causes of the wild swings in this most visible of expenses.

Book excerpt: Midwest agriculture depends heavily on corn, soybean, and wheat production which requires considerable diesel fuel to meet producer output objectives. An ability to anticipate fuel price movements may allow producers, farm managers, and fuel distributors to better plan their transactions to reduce costs or to hedge against price change. Despite potential gains from understanding diesel fuel price movements, little research has been performed to generate and assess diesel price forecasts. This research focuses on developing and evaluating the effectiveness of futures-based, structural-based, and time-series models to forecast diesel prices. Several composite forecast techniques, such as averaging, least squared regressions, and Harvey, Leybourne, and Newbold encompassing procedures also are evaluated to determine if they can improve forecasting performance. Models are specified and evaluated during an in-sample period, March 1994-February 2002, for one-, two-, and three-month forecast horizons. Using the in-sample specifications that are re-estimated each month for an out-of-sample period, March 2002-December 2008, diesel fuel price forecasts are developed and assessed. For the out-of-sample period, models are re-estimated recursively, and by using 4-year, 8-year rolling-window regressions to allow for the effects of structural change on forecast performance. During the in-sample period, no individual model consistently outperforms its rivals. However, composite forecasting methods improve forecast precision, but they are not statistically superior to the individual forecasts. Further, composite methods are generally not able to anticipate price changes as well as the individual models, which are led by the ARIMA specification. During the out-of-sample period, model performance decreases relative to the earlier period as new information and events emerge. In particular, mean squared errors gradually increase throughout the out-of-sample period. Among the models, forecast errors are highly correlated and anticipated information gains from combining forecasts do not arise. As a reflection of changing market conditions, 4-year rolling-window estimates clearly dominate forecast performance for all models and forecast horizons. Despite coefficients that are rarely significant, relative inventory-based models consistently are most accurate, suggesting the importance of allowing for inventories particularly in periods of low stocks and high prices. Interestingly, most models are able to anticipate price changes relatively well, with crude oil futures-based and time series models correctly identifying the direction of price change 60-80 percent of the time. Clearly, forecasting in periods of structural change is challenging. The research here suggests forecasts based on a relatively short rolling-window framework provide the most precise diesel fuel price estimates which are able to identify the direction of price change with reasonable accuracy. Further research may find it useful to consider allowing for more flexible model specification during periods of structural change. However, particularly in a rolling-window context, this approach will require careful monitoring of forecast performance to reduce the likelihood that large anomalies don0́9t unwarrantedly drive specifications leading to reduced accuracy. Another avenue for research might focus on longer-term forecasting, but based on the findings here this challenge seems somewhat formidable. In contrast, it might be useful to further investigate the ability to forecast the direction of price change, and to assess its economic value to decision makers.
