The current paper contributes to the literature on the relationship between economic growth, fuel prices, and the demand for gasoline and diesel within the transportation sector by assembling a wide panel dataset of fuel consumption and prices for 35 OECD and 83 Non-OECD countries. The unbalanced data spans 1978–2016, with the full 39 years of data for 36 countries. In addition, our dynamic panel estimates address nonstationarity, heterogeneity, and cross-sectional dependence. The OECD panel price elasticity for gasoline is around −0.7 or about three times that for the non-OECD panel; whereas, the OECD price elasticity for diesel is only modestly larger (in absolute terms) than the non-OECD elasticity (−0.3 and −0.2, respectively). For gasoline, the non-OECD GDP elasticity is around 1.0 or about twice that for OECD countries. For the OECD panel, the diesel GDP elasticity is about three times that of the OECD GDP elasticity for gasoline; whereas, for the non-OECD panel, the two GDP elasticities (for gasoline and diesel) are about the same. For non-OECD countries, subpanels based on geography and income produced mostly similar results. We found no evidence of GDP or price asymmetric effects for the 1978–2016 period. Lastly, the large (at least for the OECD panel) and statistically significant transportation price elasticities reported here provide stark contrast to the economy-wide energy price elasticities calculated in Liddle and Huntington (2020a).

“再次上路”:118个国家的汽油和柴油需求分析

本文通过对35个经合组织国家和83个非经合组织国家的燃料消耗和价格的广泛数据集进行汇总,为有关经济增长,燃料价格以及运输部门对汽油和柴油需求之间关系的文献做出了贡献。失衡的数据跨度为1978-2016年,共有36个国家的39年数据。此外,我们的动态面板估算还解决了非平稳性,异质性和横截面依赖性。经合组织的汽油价格弹性约为-0.7,约为非经合组织的汽油价格弹性的三倍。OECD的柴油价格弹性(绝对值)仅略高于非OECD的弹性(分别为-0.3和-0.2)。对于汽油,非经合组织的GDP弹性约为1.0或约为经合组织国家的两倍。对于OECD小组,柴油的GDP弹性约为经合组织汽油的GDP弹性的三倍;而对于非经合组织国家,这两个GDP弹性(汽油和柴油)大致相同。对于非经合组织国家,基于地理位置和收入的子面板产生的结果基本相似。我们没有发现1978-2016年期间GDP或价格非对称效应的证据。最后,这里报道的运输价格弹性较大(至少对于经合组织面板而言),并且具有统计上的显着性,这与Liddle和Huntington(2020a)计算出的整个经济范围内的能源价格弹性形成了鲜明的对比。基于地理位置和收入的子面板产生的结果基本相似。我们没有发现1978-2016年期间GDP或价格非对称效应的证据。最后,这里报道的运输价格弹性较大(至少对于经合组织面板而言),并且具有统计上的显着性,这与Liddle和Huntington(2020a)计算出的整个经济范围内的能源价格弹性形成了鲜明的对比。基于地理位置和收入的子面板产生的结果基本相似。我们没有发现1978-2016年期间GDP或价格非对称效应的证据。最后,这里报道的运输价格弹性较大(至少对于经合组织面板而言),并且具有统计上的显着性,这与Liddle和Huntington(2020a)计算出的整个经济范围内的能源价格弹性形成了鲜明的对比。
