“…To assess the distributional effects of climate policies, such as carbon or energy taxes, two major approaches are applied in the literature. These include dynamic CGE models (Abouleinein et al, 2009;Solaymani et al, 2013;van Heerden et al, 2005;Yusuf and Resosudarmo, 2015;Beck et al, 2015;Clements et al, 2007) and static, but more detailed models that use IO data in combination with household data (Dorband et al, 2019;da Silva Freitas et al, 2016;Datta, 2010;Feng et al, 2010a;Grainger and Kolstad, 2010;Kerkhof et al, 2008;Coady and Newhouse, 2006;Wier et al, 2005;Symons et al, 2002;Cornwell and Creedy, 1996). This study builds on the latter approach to quantify indirect impacts of energy price reforms (e.g.…”

AbstractEnergy subsidies account for about 7% of Ecuador's yearly public spending, or two thirds of the fiscal deficit. Removing these subsidies would yield clear economic and environmental benefits and help implement climate targets set in the Paris Agreement. However, expected adverse effects on vulnerable households can make reforms politically difficult. To inform policy design, we use household survey data from Ecuador in combination with augmented input-output data to assess the distributional impacts of energy subsidy reform. We find that in absolute terms energy subsidies benefit richer households more than poor ones. Relative to household income, subsidy removal without compensation would be regressive for diesel and LPG, progressive for gasoline...
