Modelling energy transition risk: The impact of declining energy return on investment (EROI)

Andrew Jackson et al.

Summary: This paper introduces the TranSim model, which combines the SFC approach, IO model, and Almost Ideal Demand System to simulate the economic implications of an energy technology transition involving a reduction in EROI. Simulations suggest that declining EROI could lead to negative effects such as recession, stagnation, inflation, inequality, and asset stranding, which are positively related to the capital intensity of green energy production and reductions in EROI.

The opportunity cost of domestic oil consumption for an oil exporter: Illustration for Saudi Arabia

Fatih Karanfil et al.

Summary: The study develops a partial equilibrium framework to assess the opportunity cost of domestic oil consumption for an oil-exporting country, finding that the most efficient pricing policy is to set the domestic price equal to the opportunity cost, and evaluates the net welfare gains from reforming domestic oil pricing. A numerical illustration for Saudi Arabia is provided to demonstrate the practical value of the proposed framework.

Why is the number of COVID-19 cases lower than expected in Sub-Saharan Africa? A cross-sectional analysis of the role of demographic and geographic factors

Pierre Nguimkeu et al.

Summary: This study examined the reasons behind the relatively low severity of the novel coronavirus pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa, identifying demographic and geographic factors that influence the number of active infected cases. The results show that factors in which Africa has a comparative advantage significantly affect the pandemic outcomes, while factors for which Africa has a relative disadvantage are found to be insignificant predictors.
