Asymmetric fuel price responses under heterogeneity
Balaguer, Jacint; Ripollés, Jordi Elsevier (2016-02)We explore the effect of cross-sectional aggregation of data on estimation and test of asymmetric retail fuel price responses to wholesale price shocks. The analysis is performed on data collected daily from individual ... -
Building a panel data set on fuel stations located in the Spanish regional areas of Madrid and Barcelona
Balaguer, Jacint; Ripollés, Jordi Elsevier (2016)The data described in this article were collected daily over the period June 10, 2010, to November 25, 2012, from the website of the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism. The database includes information about ... -
Cross-border integration in the European electricity market. Evidence from the pricing behavior of Norwegian and Swiss exporters
Balaguer, Jacint Elsevier (2011-09)This paper examines the electricitymarketintegration process in two European areas based on the pricingbehavior of Norwegian and Swissexporters. The aim is to gain evidence for the period after the adoption of the “Second ... -
Disentangling the importance of international border effects. Some evidence from Portugal–Spain based on diesel retailers
Balaguer, Jacint; Ripollés, Jordi Elsevier (2018-06)This paper takes into consideration that, in the presence of cross-region heterogeneity in the distribution of within-region price differentials, the impact of borders can be much smaller than those suggested by the empirical ... -
Do classes of gas stations contribute differently to fuel prices? Evidence to foster effective competition in Spain
Balaguer, Jacint; Ripollés, Jordi Elsevier (2020-04)Despite the relatively large number of gas stations reached in Spain after decades of sectorial reforms, pre-tax fuel prices in the country remain systematically among the highest in the EU. The literature provides evidence ... -
Does foreign ownership promote environmental protection? Evidence from firm-level data
Balaguer, Jacint; Cuadros, Ana; García-Quevedo, Jose Springer (2022)This paper examines the role played by foreign ownership as a determinant of the environmental behaviour of Spanish manufacturing firms. Unlike previous studies, our analysis distinguishes between current expenditure on ... -
Does multimarket contact affect prices in the retail fuel industry? First empirical evidence
Balaguer, Jacint; Ripollés, Jordi Elsevier (2020-12-09)Although multimarket competition is a fairly common characteristic in the retail fuel industry, its effect on the corresponding prices remains unexplored. By using a large dataset of service stations in Spain, a first set ... -
Estimating the environmental Kuznets curve for Spain by considering fuel oil prices (1874–2011)
Balaguer, Jacint; Cantavella, Manuel Elsevier (2016)We perform a structural analysis on an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) for Spain by exploiting long time series (1874–2011) and by using real oil prices as an indicator of variations in fuel energy consumption. This ... -
Examining the stability of the long-run relationship between energy and GDP in the presence of an industrialization process
Ripollés, Jordi; Balaguer, Jacint Taylor & Francis (2016)In this paper we examine the extent to which the relationship between energy consumption and real GDP can be affected by an effective economic development policy based on industrialization. The Spanish Stabilization and ... -
Exploring the life of fuel price responses in retail markets. The effect of cross-sectional aggregation
Balaguer, Jacint; Ripollés, Jordi Elsevier (2018-08)Empirical studies on vertical price transmission in retail fuel markets commonly use average group data of petrol stations. In this paper a simulation approach is employed to illustrate that, in this case, the persistence ... -
Foreign trade and economic growth in Spain (1900–2012): the role of energy imports
Balaguer, Jacint; Florica, Tatiana; Ripollés, Jordi Springer International Publishing (2015)We take a long-term perspective (1900–2012) to examine the causal relationship between foreign trade and economic growth for Spain. Results from both Johansen’s (J Econ Dyn Control 12:231–254, 1988) and Toda and Yamamoto’s ... -
Measuring the effect of local competition on prices in a context of spatial differentiation
Balaguer, Jacint; Pernías, José C. Springer (2011-07)This paper examines the problem of estimation bias when the effect of local competition on prices is investigated. The hotel industry was chosen as a representative case of industries that offer a spatially differentiated ... -
Relationship between spatial agglomeration and hotel prices. Evidence from business and tourism consumers
Balaguer, Jacint; Pernías, José C. Elsevier (2013-06)In this paper we examine the relationship between number of local competitors and both the average and the dispersion of retail prices in urban hotels using a dataset from the metropolitan area of Madrid (Spain). By ... -
Testing for price response asymmetries in the Spanish fuel market. New evidence from daily data
Balaguer, Jacint; Ripollés, Jordi Elsevier (2012)In this work we use daily data to examine pattern asymmetries in the speed of transmission of international wholesale oil prices to Spanish retail fuel prices. Results are robust to two alternative specifications of an ... -
Testing the Market Integration Process in the European Car Sector: Evidence from Pricing-to-market Behaviour
Balaguer, Jacint Wiley-Blackwell (2012)In this study, we investigate the process of the European car market integration by analysing the evolution of cross-country differences in the degree of pricing-to-market behaviour of United Kingdom exporters. We estimate ... -
