This paper assesses energy subsidies in Latin America and the Caribbean---about 1.8 percent of GDP in 2011--13 (approximately evenly split between fuel and electricity), and about 3.8 percent of GDP including negative externalities. Countries with poorer institutions subsidize more. Energy-rich countries subsidize fuel more, but low-income countries are more likely to subsidize electricity, as are Central America and the Caribbean. Energy subsidies impose fiscal costs, hurting SOEs, competitiveness, and distribution. The paper overviews country experience with subsidy reform, drawing lessons.-- Abstract. 588 0 Online resource; title from pdf title page (IMF.org Web site, viewed February 18, 2015). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Natural resources|zLatin America.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010103502 650 0 Energy industries|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85043141|zLatin America.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85074879-781 650 0 Fiscal policy|zLatin America.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008120531 650 0 Government business enterprises|zLatin America.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008118283 650 0 Natural resources|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85090254|zCaribbean Area.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85020279-781 650 0 Energy industries|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85043141|zCaribbean Area.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85020279-781 650 0 Fiscal policy|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85048601|zCaribbean Area.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85020279-781 650 0 Government business enterprises|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85056046|zCaribbean Area.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85020279-781 650 7 Natural resources.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1034403 650 7 Energy industries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 910110 650 7 Fiscal policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/925806 650 7 Government business enterprises.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/945198 651 7 Latin America.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1245945 651 7 Caribbean Area.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1244080 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Di Bella, Gabriel.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2012121890 710 2 International Monetary Fund.|bWestern Hemisphere Department.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n82237138 776 08 |iPrint version:|tEnergy subsidies in Latin America and the Caribbean : stocktaking and policy challenges. |d[Washington, District of Columbia] : International Monetary Fund, c2015|h79 pages|kIMF working paper ; WP/15/ 30.|z9781484365366 830 0 IMF working paper ;|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no89010263|vWP/15/30. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1254432|zOnline eBook.
