An outlook of end-use energy demand based on a clean energy and technology transformation of the household sector in Nepal

Sunil Malla

Summary: About two-thirds of Nepal's final energy is consumed by households, with traditional solid biomass meeting most of their energy needs. The study projects an increase in electricity usage for households in the future, alongside a declining trend in biomass use. Government initiatives such as SDG7 are expected to drive the growth of clean energy demand in households, requiring assertive policy measures and technological developments.

Measuring carbon tax incidence using a fully flexible demand system. Vertical and horizontal effects using Irish data

Miguel A. Tovar Reanos et al.

Summary: The research quantifies the vertical and horizontal distributional effects of carbon taxation, showing that losses in purchase power are the main channel of welfare losses and a targeted transfer is preferred over a lump-sum transfer in reducing welfare losses caused by the regressivity of taxation. Targeted transfer is more effective than lump-sum transfer in reducing welfare losses caused by the regressivity of taxation.

Winners and losers: the distributional impacts of a carbon tax in Brazil

Maria Alice Moz-Christofoletti et al.

Summary: This study examines the short-term welfare and emission effects of an economy-wide carbon tax on Brazilian households. The results show that the carbon tax is effective in reducing emissions in the short run, but imposes welfare losses, especially on the poor. Therefore, considering compensation mechanisms is critical when designing this type of environmental tax.

Segmented carbon tax may significantly affect the regional and national economy and environment-a CGE-based analysis for Guangdong Province

Mengyu Zhai et al.

Summary: Research shows that in Guangdong Province, implementing a carbon tax policy with a rate of 100 yuan/ton leads to a GDP decrease of less than 0.5%, while achieving emissions reductions. Levying carbon tax based on the difference in carbon emissions volume is most beneficial for emission intensity reduction, and a tax rate of 10-40 yuan/ton is recommended.

An analysis of food demand in a fragile and insecure country: Somalia as a case study

Mohamud Hussein et al.

Summary: This analysis of household level food demand in Somalia reveals the sensitivity of household food consumption to income shocks, especially for animal products. Exogenous income shocks may lead to a less diversified diet with more emphasis on cereals, resulting in negative macronutrient implications and increased risk of malnutrition. Improving food security is critical for Somalia's economic recovery and resilience in the future.

Rebound effect with energy efficiency determinants: a two-stage analysis of residential electricity consumption in Indonesia

Rishan Adha et al.

Summary: This study estimated the economy-wide rebound effect in Indonesia using panel data from 2002 to 2018, revealing that a 1% increase in household energy efficiency results in a reduction of energy consumption by 0.13% in the short term and 1.45% in the long term. Additionally, a backfire rebound effect was identified in provinces with high energy efficiency.

Quantifying the impacts of energy inequality on carbon emissions in China: A household-level analysis

Yue Dou et al.

Summary: This study empirically examines the impact of energy inequality on household CO2 emissions in China using a balanced panel dataset for China's 30 provinces from 2000-2017. The findings suggest that energy inequality can positively affect household CO2 emissions, but this contradicts the actual trends in China. However, narrowing energy inequality is found to reduce the growth rate of CO2 emissions, with the impact of energy inequality being asymmetric across different quantiles.

Lump-sum vs. energy-efficiency subsidy recycling of carbon tax revenue in the residential sector: A French assessment

Cyril Bourgeois et al.

Summary: This study found that lump-sum payment and subsidy recycling are effective ways to offset the regressive impacts of carbon taxes. Lump-sum payment reduces inequalities between owner-occupiers and tenants, while subsidy recycling saves energy and increases comfort more cost-effectively. The advantages of subsidy recycling from both a political and administrative perspective were also highlighted in the discussion.

The Impact of a Revenue-Neutral Carbon Tax on GDP Dynamics: The Case of British Columbia

Jean-Thomas Bernard et al.

Summary: The study shows that implementing revenue-neutral carbon taxation in British Columbia does not have significant negative impacts on GDP, and the pass-through of the carbon tax into energy prices is complete. This contributes to reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions without harming the economy.

Fuel for poverty: A model for the relationship between income and fuel poverty. Evidence from Irish microdata

Miguel A. Tovar Reanos

Summary: A new economic theory-based approach is proposed to analyze the relationship between fuel poverty and income poverty. Neglecting the overlap between the two types of poverty can lead to underestimation of the impact of carbon taxes on income poverty. Addressing income and energy efficiency inequalities simultaneously is crucial to counteract the regressive effect of carbon taxes in Ireland.

Household energy consumption behaviors in developing countries: A structural decomposition analysis for Brazil

Mariana Weiss de Abreu et al.

Summary: This study proposes an input-output structural decomposition analysis methodology to identify determining factors for energy consumption variations in a developing country, using recent income growth in Brazil from 2002 to 2008 as a case study. The results show an overall increase in energy consumption in Brazilian households, with a significant rise in energy embedded in goods and services consumed, and changes in energy consumption distribution accompanied a reduction in income inequality.

Impact of Mexico's energy reform on consumer welfare*

Jose Carlos Ramirez et al.

Summary: The study found that consumers in Mexico benefitted from the energy reform between 2014-2018 compared to the period of 2010-2014, but this came at the expense of alternative social costs related to energy subsidies.

Welfare effects of carbon taxation on South African households

Jennifer Uju Okonkwo

Summary: Results of the study indicate that the implementation of carbon taxation in South Africa will have adverse effects on low-income households through price increases in electricity and public transport, while the impact on wealthier households will be relatively minor with price increases in motor fuel. Furthermore, simultaneous increases in energy goods prices will disproportionately burden the poorest and middle income households with higher welfare losses compared to the wealthiest households.
