      Nudging Toward Sustainability: Behavioral Interventions in Saudi Arabia’s Residential Electricity Consumption

      Nudging Toward Sustainability: Behavioral Interventions in Saudi Arabia’s Residential Electricity Consumption

      Abdulelah Darandary, Hossa Almutairi

      Residential energy consumption is responsible for significant global energy consumption and associated emissions. As a result, households are a prime focus for behavior-modifying interventions. Household energy conservation can be achieved through changes in consumption patterns and investments in energy-efficient products,…

      Decarbonizing Saudi Arabia’s Residential Sector: Designing Behavioral Interventions for Efficient and Sustainable Energy Consumption

      Hossa Almutairi, Fateh Belaïd, Abdulelah Darandary

      There is a consensus in the literature regarding the significant role of behavioral change in reducing the level of residential energy consumption. However, there is an ongoing debate concerning the most effective mechanisms and instruments with which to promote energy-efficient…

      Resilience of Saudi Arabia’s Economy to Oil Shocks: Effects of Economic Reforms

      Sage Journals

      We assess the extent to which the implementation of Vision 2030 policies enhances the Saudi economy’s resilience to oil shocks. Using a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model that captures the country’s economic diversification policies, we build a resilience index based…

      Managing the Oil Market Under Misinformation: A Reasonable Quest?

      Managing the Oil Market Under Misinformation: A Reasonable Quest?

      Hossa Almutairi, Axel Pierru, James L. Smith

      This paper examines the type and quality of information that OPEC needs to stabilize the oil market. We extend our previous structural model, in which OPEC makes potential mistakes in judging the size of market shocks, to now include the…

      Will Government Support for CCS-EOR Lead to Reduced Emissions?

      Axel Pierru, Hossa Almutairi

      Government support for CCS-EOR projects is often contested on the grounds that the resulting increase in oil production undermines their environmental benefits. This paper summarizes a simple approach based on a marginal reasoning consistent with economic decision-making. It produces analytical…

      Assessing Climate Mitigation Benefits of Public Support to CCS-EOR: An Economic Analysis

      Hossa Almutairi, Axel Pierru

      Government support for CCS-EOR projects is sometimes contested on the grounds that the resulting increase in oil production undermines their environmental benefits. Addressing this concern requires determining the effects of implementing CCS-EOR on global CO2 emissions. This paper presents a…

      Resilience of Saudi Arabia’s Economy to Oil Shocks: Effects of Economic Reforms

      Hossa Almutairi, Marzio Galeotti, Baltasar Manzano, Axel Pierru

      We assess the extent to which the implementation of Saudi Vision 2030 policies enhances the Saudi economy’s resilience to oil price and production shocks, and to the productivity of tradable and non-tradable goods. We extend Blazquez et al.’s (2021) dynamic…

      The Value of Opec’s Spare Capacity to the Oil Market and Global Economy

      The Value of Opec’s Spare Capacity to the Oil Market and Global Economy

      Wiley Online Library

      We investigate the extent to which OPEC has succeeded in its self‐stated mission of stabilising the oil market and the implications for the world’s economy. We discuss the modelling framework developed by Pierru, Smith and Zamrik (2018) and Pierru, Smith…

      Sectoral and Economy-Wide Effects of Domestic Energy Price Reforms in Saudi Arabia

      Olivier Durand-Lasserve, Hossa Almutairi, Abdullah AlJarboua, Frederic Murphy, Shreekar Pradhan, Axel Pierru

      This paper simulates the sectoral and economy-wide consequences of deregulating energy prices in Saudi Arabia. Our analysis is based on KAPSARC’s general equilibrium energy model (KEMGE), a new hybrid computable general equilibrium model (CGE). The model examines the effects of…

      Promoting Energy Market Stability in a Transitioning World

      T20

      Stability in international energy markets is critical for promoting adequate investment in infrastructure so that economic activity can be sustained, in order to provide pathways for growth and improvement in welfare. In light of recent global events and the varied…

      OPEC’s Pursuit of Market Stability

      IAEE

      We investigate attempts by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to stabilize the price of oil during the past fifty years. We first develop a novel decomposition of shifts in global demand and non-OPEC supply. This decomposition provides a…
