Comportamiento de los subsidios al combustible extra y diésel: demanda y emisión de co2, Ecuador 2000-2019.

Abstract

Subsidies for fossil fuels such as oil and gas have a large impact on the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. These subsidies reduce fuel prices, which in turn increases fuel consumption, thereby increasing the amount of gases released through fuel use. When fossil fuels are burned for energy, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change. Therefore, the environmental cost of keeping them going needs to be questioned. Fossil fuel subsidies can hinder the development of clean, renewable energy technologies because subsidized fossil fuels are cheaper than clean alternatives. This can delay the transition to a more sustainable economy and reduce the ability of countries to meet their CO2 reduction targets. The implementation of the econometric model aims to explain the behavior of demand in the face of subsidies and the influence of demand on CO2 emissions.
