“…Furthermore, most previous studies on Sweden (including studies on organisation for economic co‐operation and development (OECD) countries, where Sweden is in the dataset) focused on estimating transport fuel price and income elasticities (e.g., Brännlund & Nordström, 2004; Karimu, 2014; Sterner, 1991; Sterner, Dahl, & Franzén, 1992), with no analysis on the impact of oil demand shocks or refinery shocks on the domestic motor fuel market. The other studies that included Sweden in their analysis of crude oil demand/or supply shocks on selected macroeconomic variables (e.g., Cashin et al, 2012; Dhaoui & Saidi, 2015), did not consider the domestic transport fuel market in the analysis. For instance, Dhaoui and Saidi (2015) focused on oil demand and supply shocks on stock prices, while Cashin et al (2012) considered both supply‐and‐demand‐driven oil price shocks on inflation, exchange rate and GDP, which no separate analysis was done for Sweden but rather aggregated into European major importing countries as a group.…”
