Step by Step: The Reform of China’s Energy Economy

China has become a regional powerhouse, a middle-income country and home to the world’s largest middle class. Its GDP has grown from $400 billion in 1971 to more than $13 trillion in 2012 (purchasing power parity, 2005 US$). The government…

Substitutes for Liquid Fuels – Outlook in a Low Oil Price Environment

The case for alternatives to gasoline and diesel was historically built on economic concerns; that the world might be running out of oil, which would then become prohibitively expensive. More recently, the argument has been refocused around carbon abatement and…

Energy for Water in Agriculture: A Partial Factor Productivity Analysis

Christopher Napoli, Berenice Garcia Tellez

Water, energy and food are inextricably linked and, consequently, inefficient use of any of the three resources can have a negative effect on the other two. Managing this nexus requires a holistic approach. We compare the productivity of extracted water…

Policy Options for Reducing Water for Agriculture in Saudi Arabia

Christopher Napoli, ديفيد واجن, لمى ياسين

Saudi Arabia relies almost exclusively on aquifers and desalination to provide its water. Roughly 87 percent of these water extractions are used for agriculture, and so any policy to improve the sustainability of water resources cannot ignore this agriculture dimension.

Analyzing coalitions in China’s policy formulation: Reforming the role of state-owned enterprises in China’s energy sector

Journal of East Asian Studies

We focus on the elite decision-making process in China, analyzing the formation of coalitions around particular policy options. We apply a framework that simulates collective decision-making processes (CDMP): the KAPSARC Toolkit for Behavioral Analysis (KTAB). KTAB facilitates the application of…
