This long-standing subsidy policy has led to excessive energy consumption, fuel smuggling<span>, and environmental concerns. However, efforts to reform these subsidies have faced social unrest due to abrupt price increases. To address these issues, we propose a new gasoline pricing policy that incorporates socio-economic factors using the AIDS model. We have categorized gasoline consumption into four groups: less than 60 L (current ration), 60 L–80 L, 80 L–120 L, and more than 120 L per month. Results shows that the price elasticity for the 60 L–80 L group is the highest (−0.94), while it is lowest for the above 120 L group (−0.48). Therefore, we recommend avoiding price increases for groups consuming below 80 L per month to prevent social unrest. Also, we suggest implementing a tax rate of 5% for consumption above the current ration. Under the proposed policy, the non-rationed price of gasoline will vary between the ration price and the </span></span>Persian Gulf </span>FOB price, depending on consumption levels. This approach ensures that higher levels of gasoline consumption will be associated with fewer subsidies and welfare benefits, and vice versa.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"183 ","pages":"Article 113812"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50202431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The demand reacts differently with the increase or decrease in its determinants and as the demand for oil imports rises or falls. The outcomes reveal that the crude oil import demand has become more inelastic in price and income than in earlier studies (Dash et al., 2018; Ghosh, 2009). Also, the study finds that electricity is a potential substitute for crude oil. The inelastic price indicates that imposing a carbon tax would have a marginal impact on reducing </span>carbon emissions<span> from crude oil.

An empirical analysis of a twenty-year history of M&A in the energy sector, covering over 10,000 transactions, is complemented by an economic model that differentiates between investment for innovation and investment for scale and transaction benefit. The analysis confirms that in the case of renewables, IOCs are currently at the exploratory stage of business development and appear to be valuing innovation based on renewables on subset of their business. The analysis concludes that IOCs favour core investment in functioning competitive energy markets rather than in rate-of-return regulated assets, and that for IOCs in particular policies and market rules directed towards that end would favour both near- and long-term investment by them into low carbon energy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"183 ","pages":"Article 113762"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50202800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To determine public support for energy security cooperation, we conduct a (first ever) conjoint experiment on public support for alternative energy union designs, fielded among a highly representative sample of the French, German, Italian, Dutch and Spanish populations in November 2022.

Our results show that policy packages receiving the most support have higher levels of ambition, joint EU-level governance, joint purchases and procurement. All-in-all our results reveal considerable cross-border support for energy solidarity, indicating that a compromise policy is feasible and publicly supported.
