ÉnergieTags : Privatisation Energie Electricité Index. décimale : 03.03 Ressources naturelles Résumé : This briefing attempts to look beyond the promised benefits of the power sector liberalisation, and debunk some myths about power deregulation and privatisation worldwide.
Liberalisation of the electricity sector is on the increase on a global scale. Corporate-driven reforms are portrayed by international financial institutions and multilateral development banks as means of improving efficiency and attracting foreign investment for national economic growth. Most countries across the world are taking steps towards privatisation and deregulation of the electricity sector, often to meet the conditions imposed by international donors or comply with regional or global trade agreements.
If the aim is really to improve the living conditions of ordinary people by lowering the cost and increasing the quality of power provision, privatisation and deregulation have evidently failed. During the past five years, from New Zealand to California and from India to Brazil, the world has witnessed a series of catastrophic blackouts, skyrocketing tariffs, growing corruption, environmental disasters and the collapse of Enron Corporation, a veritable icon of liberalisation.

Banks, Auteur ; Alisa Schackmann Editeur : Brookings Année de publication : March 2014 Collection : Brookings Policy Brief num. 14-1 Importance : 74 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Énergie Tags : Energie Pétrole Gaz Résumé : “The Arctic is changing. A shrinking polar icecap—now 40 percent smaller than it was in 1979—has opened not only new shipping routes, but access to 13 percent and 30 percent of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas, respectively. Today, the region’s vast energy, mineral and marine resources draw substantial international and commercial interest. In a new report, Offshore Oil and Gas Governance in the Arctic: A Leadership Role for the U.S., authors Charles K. Ebinger, John P. Banks, and Alisa Schackmann review the current framework regarding offshore Arctic energy exploration and recommend steps or efforts U.S. can take to assert leadership in this dynamic region.” En ligne : http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Research/Files/Reports/2014/03/offshore%20oil%2 [...] Offshore Oil and Gas Governance in the Arctic : A Leadership Role for the U.S. [document électronique] / Charles K.

Titre : Oil Rent and Income Inequality in Developing Economies : Are They Friends or Foes? Type de document : document électronique Editeur : CERDI Année de publication : 215 Collection : Série études et documents num. 2 Importance : 23 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Énergie

Développement économiqueTags : Pétrole Gaz Inégalités Corruption Pays en développement Résumé : Using the most recent available data on a sample of 40 developing countries, this paper addresses the effects of oil rent on inequality. Mobilizing a dynamic panel data specification over the period 1996–2008, the econometric results yield two important findings. First, there is a non-linear (U-shaped) relationship between oil rent and inequality. Specifically, oil rent lowers inequality in the short run. This effect then diminishes over time as the oil revenues increase. Our complementary finding is that the fall in income inequality as a result of the increase in the oil rent is fully absorbed by the increase in corruption. Further, the paper examines the channels of causality underlying this relationship. The graphical analysis shows the consistency of the data with the hypothesis according to which corruption, military expenditure, and inflation mediate the effect of oil rent on income inequality.
