EVALUATING SIZE AND DISTRIBUTION OF REAL INCOME EFFECTS""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aWith the recent jump in world oil prices, the issue of petroleum product pricing has become increasingly important in developing countries. Reflecting a reluctance of many governments to pass these price increases onto energy users, energy price subsidies are absorbing an increasing share of scarce public resources. This paper identifies the issues that need to be discussed when analyzing the fiscal and social costs of fuel subsidies. Using examples from analyses recently undertaken for five countries, it also identifies the magnitude of consumer subsidies and their fiscal implications. The results of the analysis show that-in all of these countries-energy subsidies have significant social and fiscal costs and are badly targeted. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/247 606 $aFuel$xPrices$vStatistics 606 $aFuel trade$xSubsidies 606 $aInflation$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aEnergy: Demand and Supply$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aPrice Level$2imf 606 $aDeflation$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions$2imf 606 $aEnergy industries & utilities$2imf 606 $aPersonal income$2imf 606 $aEnergy subsidies$2imf 606 $aFuel prices$2imf 606 $aOil prices$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 607 $aSri Lanka$2imf 615 0$aFuel$xPrices 615 0$aFuel trade$xSubsidies. 615 7$aInflation 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aEnergy: Demand and Supply 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aPrice Level 615 7$aDeflation 615 7$aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions 615 7$aEnergy industries & utilities 615 7$aPersonal income 615 7$aEnergy subsidies 615 7$aFuel prices 615 7$aOil prices 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 700 $aGillingham$b Robert$01481917 701 $aNewhouse$b David Locke$01485188 701 $aCoady$b David$0629944 701 $aKpodar$b Kangni$01193209 701 $aEl-Said$b Moataz$01546593 701 $aMedas$b Paulo$01493443 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788690903321 996 $aThe Magnitude and Distribution of Fuel Subsidies$93823241 997 $aUNINA
