Results of three experimental studies and surveys (<em>N</em><sub>total</sub> = 3135) conducted in four EU countries show that community members' involvement, but not external parties' involvement, in CEI governance promotes perceived efficacy and identity leadership of the CEI, and thereby its acceptability and people's willingness to join.

This is particularly evident in the energy sector, where renewable energy is making rapid progress, but energy inequality remains a persistent concern that could impede efforts to achieve common prosperity. This paper analyzes the challenges posed by energy inequality to achieving common prosperity in China. This study analyzes the influence of energy inequality on common prosperity using the system-generalized method of moments (SYS-GMM) technique. The study results indicate that energy inequality has a significant negative impact on common prosperity. This Research also conducts a mechanism analysis, which demonstrates that energy inequality has an indirect impact on reducing common prosperity by decreasing labor productivity and increasing air pollution. In addition, the heterogeneity analysis also shows that in regions with high levels of energy inequality and high levels of common prosperity, as well as in western regions, the problem of energy inequality has a more significant obstructive effect on achieving common prosperity. Drawing from the findings, this study suggests several policy implications that the Chinese government can implement to address energy inequality and promote common prosperity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 114386"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142446636","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 Malaysian government has signalled commitments to implement a targeted fuel subsidy reform where vulnerable households would be unaffected by the direct impact of higher fuel prices even after the reform. But despite this commitment, little is known about the economy-wide impact of the reform. This study employs a dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model to examine the economic, social, and environmental impact of a targeted fuel subsidy removal in Malaysia under a spontaneous and gradual implementation scenario. The research also explores the impact of direct cash transfers to households and reinvestment in key sectors of the economy in the aftermath of the reform. Results from the study show that subsidy removal brings positive gains to the Malaysian economy in the medium to long term. Sequencing the phaseout of subsidies, providing compensation to vulnerable households, and reinvesting in education, health, transportation, and food assistance helps to avoid short-term adverse effects on households and output. The study recommends the need for a gradual removal of fuel subsidies that is accompanied by cash transfers to vulnerable households and investment in key sectors of the economy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 114373"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142421098","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}
