We construct a dynamic model of a small open economy to analyze the effects of large energy subsidies. The model … includes domestic energy production and consumption, trade in energy at world market prices, as well as private and public … sector production. The model is calibrated to Egypt and used to study reforms such as reductions in energy subsidies with …

The existing economics literature neglects the important role of capacity in the production of renewable energy. To … fiill this gap, we construct a model in which renewable energy production is tied to renewable energy capacity, which then … allocation of energy, and which therefore comes at the cost of reduced general production.
