Book Description
This book is about the use of economic and state capture levers for achieving political clout. It details how Moscow has been able to exploit governance deficits and influence decision-making in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe through a range of economic means. The comparative country by country perspective on Russia’s corporate presence, trade, and investment in particular sectors of the region, especially energy, shows the patterns of the Kremlin’s use of economic presence and state capture tactics to amplify political and social leverage. By collating economic data with an analysis of governance loopholes and the political process, the authors reveal the Kremlin’s methods for swaying national policies, especially through the exploitation of governance failures in these countries. The book thereby highlights how Russia’s economic power is related to its wider strategic goals. It concludes that Russia’s economic grip, both direct and indirect, is tighter than official statistics imply.
The Distributional Implications of the Impact of Fuel Price Increases on Inflation
Author: Mr. Kangni R KpodarPublisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1616356154
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
This paper investigates the response of consumer price inflation to changes in domestic fuel prices, looking at the different categories of the overall consumer price index (CPI). We then combine household survey data with the CPI components to construct a CPI index for the poorest and richest income quintiles with the view to assess the distributional impact of the pass-through. To undertake this analysis, the paper provides an update to the Global Monthly Retail Fuel Price Database, expanding the product coverage to premium and regular fuels, the time dimension to December 2020, and the sample to 190 countries. Three key findings stand out. First, the response of inflation to gasoline price shocks is smaller, but more persistent and broad-based in developing economies than in advanced economies. Second, we show that past studies using crude oil prices instead of retail fuel prices to estimate the pass-through to inflation significantly underestimate it. Third, while the purchasing power of all households declines as fuel prices increase, the distributional impact is progressive. But the progressivity phases out within 6 months after the shock in advanced economies, whereas it persists beyond a year in developing countries.
Papers and Proceedings of the Fourth Annual High-level ECE Gas Centre Conference on Reform and Restructuring of the Gas Industry in Economies in Transition
Author: United Nations. Economic Commission for Europe. Gas CentrePublisher: United Nations Publications

Pages : 124
Book Description
The European gas industry is entering a new phase in its development. Future gas demand forecasts have never been as high and gas is seen, post-Kyoto, as the cleanest energy source among fossil fuels. All European operators are also preparing themselves to seize the opportunities of the new liberalised gas market. This conference focused on future developments of energy and gas prices and competition, gas supply prospects, gas markets in central and eastern European countries (CEEs), and the importance of market oriented pricing for a further expansion of markets in the new de-regulated open market.
New Political Economy of Energy in Europe
Author: Jakub M. GodzimirskiPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319933604
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
This edited collection details and analyses the dramatic changes that the international political economy of energy has undergone in the past decade. This change began with the increasing assertiveness of Russia when the oil price rose above the $100 mark in 2008. This, combined with the rise of shale oil and gas, made the USA all but self-sufficient in terms of fossil fuels. The collapse of the oil price in 2014-15, Saudi Arabia’s new strategy of defending its market share and the increasingly tense and controversial relationship between the West and Russia all worked to further strengthen the geopolitical dimension of energy in Europe. The global result is a world in which geopolitics play a bigger part than ever before; the central question the authors of this volume grapple with is how the EU – and European small states – can deal with this.
