Sommario/riassunto |

The oil price decline creates an opportunity to dismantle energy subsidies, which escalatedwith high oil prices. This paper assesses energy subsidies in Latin America and theCaribbean-about 1.8 percent of GDP in 2011-13 (approximately evenly split betweenfuel and electricity), and about 3.8 percent of GDP including negative externalities.Countries with poorer institutions subsidize more. Energy-rich countries subsidize fuelmore, but low-income countries are more likely to subsidize electricity, as are CentralAmerica and the Caribbean. Energy subsidies impose fiscal costs, hurting SOEs,competit |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book introduces advanced undergraduate, graduate students and practitioners to statistical methods for ranking data. An important aspect of nonparametric statistics is oriented towards the use of ranking data. Rank correlation is defined through the notion of distance functions and the notion of compatibility is introduced to deal with incomplete data. Ranking data are also modeled using a variety of modern tools such as CART, MCMC, EM algorithm and factor analysis. This book deals with statistical methods used for analyzing such data and provides a novel and unifying approach for hypotheses testing. The techniques described in the book are illustrated with examples and the |
