Download or read book The Demand for Oil and Energy in Developing Countries written by Charles Wolf and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much of the world's oil and energy supply will the non-OPEC less-developed countries (NOLDCs) demand in the next decade? How will their economic growth affect world demand? To answer these questions, the authors have tried to develop some reasonable forecasts of NOLDC energy demands in the next ten years. Although the focus is mainly on demand for oil, some attention is given to the total commercial energy requirements of these countries. The data used in fitting the models cover 77 NOLDCs, which, in 1976, accounted for 79 percent of total oil consumption by all 124 NOLDCs. The uncertainties associated with the forecasts are spelled out, as are the income and price elasticities on which the forecasts are based. Finally, the authors consider the forecasts in terms of their implications for U.S. energy policies concerning the NOLDCs and suggest areas of future research on NOLDC energy issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much of the world's oil and energy supply will the non-OPEC less-developed countries (NOLDCs) demand in the next decade? Will their requirements be small and thus fairly insignificant compared with world demand, or large and relatively important? How will world demand be affected by the economic growth of the NOLDCs? In this report, the authors try to develop some reasonable forecasts of the range of NOLDC energy demands in the next 10 years. They have tried to be explicit about the uncertainties associated with these forecasts, and with the income and price elasticities on which they are based. Finally, they consider the forecasts in terms of their implications for U.S. policies concerning NOLDCs, and suggest areas of future research on NOLDC energy issues. Although some results will be reported for total commercial demand for energy, and its associated income and price elasticities, their main emphasis is on NOLDC demand for oil. While they do not attempt to estimate cross elasticities of demand between oil and other fuels, the range of uncertainty in their reported estimates for oil demand is probably sufficient to cover a reasonable allowance for cross elasticities. Chapter 2 provides a brief background, summarizing previous estimates (or assumptions) about price and income elasticities of demand, previous demand forecasts, and the methods used in making them. Chapter 3 summarizes the models and data the authors have used, and their principal results: price and income elasticities for the NOLDCs as a group, and for several subgroups; forecasts of NOLDC oil and energy demand in 1985 and 1990; and the scaling of these forecasts relative to world demand for both energy and oil. Finally, Chapter 4 suggests implications for U.S. policy and for further research.

This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the collapse of the Soviet system, the immense problems of environmental pollution in Central and Eastern Europe were widely publicized. Less well known were its effects on health in the region, which have led to a serious health crisis. This report examines the degree to which the pollution adversely affected human health, putting it in the context of other health determinants such as socioeconomic factors, health care standards and availability, and lifestyle factors. Among the numerous pollutants, the report points to lead, dust, toxic gases, and nitrates in rural water supplies as having a significant impact on health in Central and Eastern Europe. The author suggests possible avenues for international action. However, an analysis of the determinants of health reveals that addressing the pollution problems alone will not solve the health crisis. Improving health in this region will depend on the changing economic fortunes of individual countries and the ability of each to create a supportive social environment for its citizens.

Book excerpt: This book, originally published in 1981, discusses the various welfare effects – including ai, debt, trade and labour flows - of the rise in oil prices and revenues which took place in the 1970s. These complex effects and the negotiating stances of the developing countries are all examined an dinvestigated, drawing upon a wide range of sources and material for the more quantitative parts.

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 Oil Prices and the Global Economy written by Mr.Rabah Arezki and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a simple macroeconomic model of the oil market. The model incorporates features of oil supply such as depletion, endogenous oil exploration and extraction, as well as features of oil demand such as the secular increase in demand from emerging-market economies, usage efficiency, and endogenous demand responses. The model provides, inter alia, a useful analytical framework to explore the effects of: a change in world GDP growth; a change in the efficiency of oil usage; and a change in the supply of oil. Notwithstanding that shale oil production today is more responsive to prices than conventional oil, our analysis suggests that an era of prolonged low oil prices is likely to be followed by a period where oil prices overshoot their long-term upward trend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gulf crisis has once again drawn attention to the volatility of the world’s largest industry. Even in its aftermath, trends in the world oil market are unclear.Global Oil Trends provides a detailed assessment and long-term perspective of the global oil market in general and the Asia-Pacific market in particular. The 1990 oil crisis is reviewed and the possible impact of growing environmental concerns on the oil industry is discussed. For the last two decades oil demand in the Asia-Pacific region has been the highest in the world and this trend is expected to continue into the future. Global Oil Trends analyses the role of the Asia-Pacific region in the world oil market, discusses the regional oil supply-demand balance, the prospects for the trading of oil products, and the development of the oil refining industry in the region.Global Oil Trends is valuable not only for those in the oil industry but also for academicians, energy planners, university students who are concerned with the global oil situation and the dynamism of the Asia-Pacific oil market.
