“…Hasset et al (2009 provide evidence that indirect effects mitigate regressivity in the United States. Other authors show that indirect effects increase regressivity as low-income households tend to spend large fractions of their incomes on energy-intensive food and public transport (Jacobsen et al 2003;da Silva Freitas et al 2016).…”

“…We expect more progressive outcomes for studies that capture general equilibrium effects. Several studies find general equilibrium effects to foster progressive outcomes (Rausch et al 2011;Dissou and Siddiqui 2014;Vandyck and Van Regemorter 2014;Beck et al 2015;Sajeewani et al 2015;da Silva Freitas et al 2016). Dissou and Siddiqui (2014) show that carbon taxes particularly affect the capital-intensive energy industry.…”

Understanding the distributional impacts of market-based climate policies is crucial to design economically efficient climate change mitigation policies that are socially acceptable and avoid adverse impacts on the poor. Empirical studies that examine the distributional impacts of carbon pricing and fossil fuel subsidy reforms in different countries arrive at ambiguous results. To systematically determine the sources of variation between these outcomes, we apply an ordered probit meta-analysis framework. Based on a comprehensive, systematic and transparent screening of the literature, our sample comprises 53 empirical studies containing 183 effects in 39 countries. Results indicate a significantly increased likelihood of progressive distributional outcomes for studies on lower income countries and transport sector policies. The same applies to study designs that consider indirect effects, demand-side adjustments of consumers or lifetime income proxies.

“…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...
