The purpose of this paper is to forecast monthly gasoline prices in Jordan by applying Gaussian process regression on two types (octane-90 and octane-95) during the period January 2008 December 2019. Accurately predicting have several fiscal policy implications concerning fuel subsidies taxes. Also, they affect consumption production decisions. Moreover, are crucial for designing analyzing envi...

High food prices are one of the major risks facing households from developing countries. Food have attracted renewed interest among policy experts in identifying appropriate instruments to counter effect price vulnerability. This paper evaluates fuel on by testing for Granger causality and cointegration applied diesel, maize, beans, cabbage, potatoes data period 2010-2018. The results revealed ...

This paper analyses the determinants of household electricity consumption with focus to find impact government subsidies and surcharges on demand for services in rural areas. Using surveyed data 332 samples, quantile regression has been employed checking heterogeneity across different households. We subsidy enhanced elasticity ranging from 45 65 percent. Skeptically, consumers higher tend consu...

This article describes three essential elements of an effective post-2012 international cli-mate policy architecture: a framework to ensure that key industrialized and developingnations are involved in differentiated but meaningful ways, an emphasis on an extended timepath for emissions targets, and the inclusion of flexible market-based policy instruments tokeep costs down and ...

On June 25, 2013, President Obama announced his plan to introduce carbon dioxide emission standards for electricity generation. This paper proposes an efficiency analysis approach that addresses which emission rates (and standards) would be feasible if the existing generating units adopt best practices. A new efficiency measure is introduced and further decomposed to identify different sources’...

In China, many ongoing problems in the electricity sector can be traced back to the old ‘centrally planned’ economy. Since the start of liberalization in the 1980s, the clash between a liberalized economy (excluding a few so-called strategic industries) and a centrally controlled electricity industry has gradually become more and more apparent.

International markets for tradable emission permits (TEP) co-exist with national energy taxation. A firm trading emission permits in the international market also pays energy taxes in its host country, thus creating an interaction between the international TEP-market and national energy taxes. In this paper we model that interaction in a framework of a perfectly competitive international TEP-ma...
