      Are Households Quitting Electric Vehicle Ownership?

      Rubal Dua, Alexander Edwards, Utkarsh Anand, Prateek Bansal

      In this paper, we investigate the proportion of U.S. plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) owners who discontinued PEV ownership by disposing of their PEV and buying a non-PEV as their next vehicle, which is termed PEV “discontinuance.”

      Emerging Policy and Economic Research Priorities for Enabling the Electric Vehicle Sector

      Emerging Policy and Economic Research Priorities for Enabling the Electric Vehicle Sector

      Rubal Dua, Saif Almutairi, Prateek Bansal

      We highlight key emerging research priorities on the climate- and industrial-policy driven pathway to passenger car electrification, including both pure battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, using a three-pronged approach. This includes examining journalistic reports from a research perspective,…

      Consumer Preferences for Ride-Hailing: The Barriers to an Autonomous, Shared, and Electric Future

      Rubal Dua, Tamara Sheldon

      Research has shown that when combined in a mobility-on-demand (MOD) framework, automation, carpooling, and electrification have the potential for theoretically large emission reductions. However, there is insufficient research regarding the consumer preferences for and behavioral responses to this vision of…

      Identifying Emerging Challenges and Priorities for Aviation Decarbonization

      Rubal Dua, Andres Felipe Guzman, Prateek Bansal

      Decarbonization of the aviation sector has emerged as a global concern because the sector contributes 2%-3% to total global greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, it is critical for us to understand the associated emerging challenges. We determine key research priorities for…

      Estimating Car Price Elasticity Using an Inverse Product Differentiation Logit Model

      Rubal Dua, Prateek Bansal, Jinghai Huo

      Since the seminal work of Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes (1995), random coefficient logit (RCL) has become the workhorse model for estimating demand elasticities in markets with differentiated products using aggregated sales data. While the ability to represent flexible substitution patterns…

      Worldwide intraregional and interregional air passenger traffic volume distribution

      Andres Felipe Guzman, Abdulrahman Alwosheel, Rubal Dua

      Aviation, like other transport modes, is essential for the economy; it facilitates business and trade, allows people to connect with different regions/cities, and generate tourism. Air traffic at the country or regional level is quite interesting by analyzing and comparing…

      Worldwide Intraregional and Interregional Air Freight Traffic Volume Distribution

      Andres Felipe Guzman, Abdulrahman Alwosheel, Rubal Dua

      Freight by air does not comprise a significant share of the worldwide tonnage due to its cost compared to land (road and rail) and sea transport. However, air freight is important for commodities that either have high values or are…

      Future Fuel Demand From the Saudi Shipping Sector: A Business-as-Usual Estimation

      Ahm Mehbub Anwar, Rubal Dua, Abdulrahman Alwosheel, Nora Nezamuddin

      The purpose of this commentary is to suggest a rough estimation of future exports and corresponding fuel consumption of the Saudi shipping sector up to 2040. For estimation purposes, we use two assumptions: A global average energy intensity of 0.078…

      Estimating Regional Variation in Saudi Arabia’s Energy Usage and Carbon Emissions

      Abdulrahman Alwosheel, Rubal Dua

      Estimates of regional energy consumption and carbon emissions could be useful for agencies investigating the effects of regionally targeted investments and policy interventions. Using gasoline consumption in Saudi Arabia as a case study, we develop two approaches for estimating the…

      Choosing to Diet: The Impact and Cost-effectiveness of China’s Vehicle Ownership Restrictions

      Anthony Liu, Rubal Dua, Wei-min Hu, Arthur Lin Ku

      Can voluntary carbon emission reduction pledges, such as the nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement, result in significant emission reductions? According to prominent experts such as Nordhaus (2015), Barrett (2005), and Weitzman (2019), free-riding is unavoidable in cooperative situations…
