Gasoline consumption in Saudi Arabia: an analysis of consumer attitudes and perceptions using microsurvey data

The study analyses gasoline consumption behaviour by ordinary consumers in Saudi Arabia using household‐level disaggregated survey data. We applied parametric methods to test 10 hypotheses related to gasoline consumption. To collect the data, we surveyed 1862 households across 13 regions of the country. The empirical results show that gasoline consumption is significantly affected by age, nationality, education, employment characteristics, household size, vehicle engine size, gasoline price, household location and consumers’ concern about future price change, but it is not affected by income. We also find that consumption varies among different groups within each factor and that many differences are statistically significant. The importance and contribution of this study stem from the fact that there is no research on gasoline demand using household‐level disaggregated survey data in Saudi Arabia, and thus our results should be useful to policymakers. Our study is particularly timely considering that the government is trying to move away from subsidy in the oil sector.

Integrating global energy and climate governance: The changing role of the International Energy Agency

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Despite the long-recognized interlinkages between global energy consumption and climate change, there has historically been only limited policy interaction, let alone integration, between the two fields. This compartmentalization is mirrored in scholarship, where much research has focused on the fragmentation of, respectively, global energy and global climate governance, but only little has been said about how these fields might be integrated. Our analysis of the International Energy Agency's (IEA) changing activities in recent years shows that governance integration -both within global energy governance and between global energy and climate governance -is now happening. The IEA has broadened its portfolio to embrace the full spectrum of energy issues, including renewable energy and climate change; it has built and is expanding key partnerships with both the UN climate convention and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA); and it has become an authoritative advocate for the inter-related goals of a low-carbon transition and climate change mitigation.We show that these developments are not the result of a top-down plan, but have rather emerged through the Agency's various efforts to pursue its energy-centric mandate in a fastchanging global policy environment.
