Nun roll(t)en sie wieder - so könnte man die Situation Anfang Januar 2024 beschreiben, als die Landwirtschaft mit Sternfahrten und ähnlichen Aktionen erhebliche Verkehrseinschränkungen verursachte, mit einem entsprechenden Medienecho. War dies nun Ausdruck der hohen Organisationsfähigkeit...

Der Bundesrat hat im März 2024 dem Gesetzentwurf zum schrittweisen Abbau der Agrardieselsubventionen zugestimmt. Angesichts der asymmetrischen Bedeutung der Landwirtschaft für Wirtschaft und Klima aufgrund einer relativ geringen Bruttowertschöpfung bei gleichzeitig hohen...

This study deals with the evolution of fuels' prices over time in the EU. The central research inquiry revolves around whether there exists any correlation among the trajectories followed by national prices in the gasoline and diesel markets. The EU, and more specifically the Euro-Area, by its...

This policy brief addresses the critical issue of phasing out diesel subsidies in Colombia and underscores the urgent need for coordinated action and strategic planning. The Colombian government views the sub­sidy phase-out as part of its energy transition strategy, proposing investments in...

This paper presents estimates of the effects that government regulation of diesel and petrol prices has on GDP growth. Theory suggests that when supply curves are convex, a decrease in the regulatory price has a larger effect on output than a tantamount increase. Motivated by this theoretical...

Am 22. Juni beginnen in Nordrhein-Westfalen die Sommerferien. Wie jedes Jahr werden dann Viele mit dem Pkw in den Urlaub fahren und aus diesem Grund werden die Preise für Benzin und Diesel regelmäßig ein heißes Sommerthema. Die gute Nachricht ist, dass Diesel deutschlandweit Mitte Juni 2023...

This paper examines the sign and size-dependent asymmetry in wholesale petrol and diesel prices in the long and short run across seven major distribution centres in Australia using daily data from 1 January 2004 to 18 November 2022. This study adopts a composite threshold mean model that is...

The transition to a green economy strongly depends on the existence of appropriate economic incentives for agents. The loan market for car purchases is a paradigmatic example in this respect, as lenders may set credit conditions which may discourage or support the purchase of high emission...

5-(Hydroxymethyl)-furfural (HMF) is a platform molecule obtained by dehydration of hexoses, product of the hydrolysis of residual lignocellulosic biomass. By etherification with ethanol, 5-(Ethoxymethyl)-furfural (EMF) can be obtained, a promissory bio-additive for diesel. The etherification is...

In this study, borax decahydrate as a fuel additive was studied in a diesel single-cylinder engine. Borax decahydrate was dissolved in 500 ml of methanol, 5 gr, 15 g and 25 g, and methanol was added 10% to diesel fuel. To be 90% Diesel + 10% Methanol (D90M10) 90% Diesel 10% Methanol + 1 g Borax...

We analyze the effectiveness of the German tax reduction on fuel prices ('Tankrabatt') that was introduced for three months, starting on 1 June 2022. Using the synthetic control method to compare actual prices of gasoline and diesel to those in a counterfactual situation without the tax...

Information on price transmission from crude oil to value-added fuels can disclose underlying market structures and behaviors, such as competitiveness and market power, which are relevant for developing energy outlooks and policy. Many studies have investigated price interdependences in...

Many empirical studies state that retail gasoline and diesel prices react more quickly when the crude oil price rises rather than decreases. In the paper, we confirm these asymmetric reactions of retail fuel prices in selected cities in the United States of America. We use the adjustment cost...

Fuel prices are commonly perceived to be excessively high, which regularly triggers political discussions about fuel price regulations. Consumers demand stricter fuel price regulations to provide transparency about the current price level and to protect them from sudden price fluctuations. Such...

Electric vehicles are declining in cost so rapidly that they may claim a large share of the vehicle market by 2030. This paper examines a set of practical regulatory design considerations for fuel-economy standards or greenhouse gas standards in the context of highly uncertain electric vehicle...

Oil and its derivatives are very important goods in the world, not only because of their huge use but also because the consequences of that use. The literature has plenty of works with economic analysis of the use of oil. Having available a huge amount of data, we propose an innovative approach:...

This paper estimates Nash-type fiscal reaction functions for European governments competing for revenue from diesel excises. It appears that European governments strategically set their excise levels by responding to their neighbors' tax rates. This provides evidence for the presence of tax...

The removal of high inlet concentrations of NOx (1000 ppm) and SO2 ( 500 ppm) from diesel engine off-gases was studied using hybrid electron beam technology, i.e. electron beam combined with a wet scrubber method. Five different wet scrubbing solutions were examined: 3.5% NaCl solution...

Diesel Powered engines are predominately used in transport and power generators. Due to rapid depletion of fossils fuels like diesel, there is need to find alternate resources for as a fuel for transport and power sector. The use of third generation fuels like algae seems to be a promising...

Biodiesel is one of the renewable fuels which is similar to diesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel has more oxygen than diesel fuel and this leads to better combustion and thereby, decreases PM, CO, and UHC emissions. On the other hand, biodiesel has a higher viscosity and density than diesel fuel which...

In current economic scenario especially in the automobile sector, the sales of passenger vehicle i.e. commercial vehicle, two wheelers and three wheelers dropped drastically in the month of the August 2019, which shocked the Indian economy in all round. In this paper, undersigned examined the...

This paper uses the 2015 Volkswagen emissions scandal as a natural experiment to provide causal evidence that group reputation externalities matter for firms. We find that the Volkswagen scandal reduced the U.S. sales of the other German auto manufacturers—BMW, Mercedes- Benz, and Smart—by...

Due to the depletion of petroleum products and fatal emissions from the tailpipe of diesel engines it has become a need to seek for the alternative of petroleum products for long-term use. Currently, researchers and experts have come to the conclusion that biodiesel along with higher alcohols...

This paper uses the 2015 Volkswagen emissions scandal as a natural experiment to provide evidence that collective reputation externalities matter for firms. We find that the Volkswagen scandal reduced the U.S. sales of the other German auto manufacturers—BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Smart—by...

In this paper we examine if Slovak retail gasoline and diesel prices respond more quickly when crude oil price rises rather than when it decreases. The error correction model with irreversible behaviour of explanatory variables is considered to be basic tool for the analysis of asymmetric retail...

As a potential means of offsetting diesel fuel usage and reducing the environmental impact of used tyres, this study investigates the NOx emissions of a modern commercial passenger vehicle run on a blend of diesel and tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO). The test vehicle was driven on a route...
