    Analysis of brand influence in the rockets and feathers effect using disaggregated data
    (Elsevier, 2020-04-01) Palencia González, Francisco Javier; Navío Marco, Julio; Juberías Cáceres, Gema
    This paper studies price asymmetries (the ‘rockets and feathers effect’) at the firm level using an approach that fundamentally differs from the previous literature. The research analyses the Spanish oil market, using more than 11 million daily price records from December, 23, 2014, to December 31, 2017. We apply the most common econometric approach to investigate asymmetry, the error correction model, and find asymmetries for all brands, either classic brands or low-cost flag brands. Classic brands make price adjustments in shorter periods, whereas supermarket brands, as well as independent and low-cost brands, correct prices only slowly. This research makes an original contribution to the study of the rockets and feathers phenomenon using brands as the units of analysis. The speed of price adjustments is especially relevant to understanding oil market price dynamics.

    Carbon Leakage from Fuel Taxes: Evidence from a Natural Experiment
    (Springer, 2024) Jordi J. Teixidó; Palencia González, Francisco Javier; Labeaga Azcona, José María; Labandeira, Xavier; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2530-388X; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2960-8565; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2952-058X
    We exploit a fuel tax increase in Portugal to identify its effect on cross-border fuel sales and associated carbon leakage in the Spanish border regions. Using a difference-in-difference strategy, we find that while gasoline sales remained unaffected, diesel sales in Spanish border regions increased by 6–9%. Synthetic control methods confirm these estimates and attribute this differential effect by fuel type to routes frequented by heavy-duty vehicles, with large diesel tanks. We estimate a carbon leakage equivalent to 14–20% of Portugal’s annual mitigation commitment for road transport emissions. Our findings imply that heavy goods vehicles’ strategic behavior undermines the potential mitigation effects and revenue gains of transport climate policy, underscoring the need for coordinated policies in similar federal or quasi-federal contexts.

    Using big data to analyze how and why users value urban blue spaces in Spain
    (Elsevier, 2024-03-23) Ballesteros Olza, Mario; Palencia González, Francisco Javier
    One of the objectives outlined in the 2030 Agenda is to make cities and human settlements more inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable (Goal 11). This study analyzed the ratings (quantitative data), and opinions (qualitative data) of over half a million Google Maps reviews to discern how urban blue spaces (beaches and inland blue spaces) and green spaces (parks and ornamental gardens) were valued by users and the reasons behind their ratings, with a specific emphasis on the role played by the presence of water in these environments. The main findings indicated a more positive rating for blue spaces than green spaces. In addition, the qualitative analysis showed that aesthetic values were the most commented upon and appreciated feature of these spaces, followed by aspects related to physical activity, social interactions, relaxation, air quality, biodiversity, and those associated with the conservation and cleanliness of these spaces. These findings align with those from previous studies, suggesting a higher preference for blue spaces and a greater willingness to pay for houses and hotel rooms offering views of water.

    Measuring and targeting energy poverty in Europe using a multidimensional approach
    (Elsevier, 2025-02-11) Tovar Reaños, Miguel A.; Palencia González, Francisco Javier; Labeaga Azcona, José María; Agencia Estatal de Investigación
    Despite the plethora of articles on energy poverty, very few use methods rooted in economic theory to measure the number of households facing this situation (i.e. extension) and its severity (i.e. intensity) of this multidimensional condition across different countries. We use a multidimensional approach and factor analysis to estimate a composite index. We compare both methods and use European data on self-reported energy poverty and expenditure to measure the problem at the extensive and intensive margins. We also use our indicators to assess the efficacy of targeting European energy-poor households. We find that Greece, Lithuania, and Romania have the highest proportion of energy-impoverished households and the highest intensity. Ireland has the highest relative efficiency in targeting households in this condition. We also find that while having a low likelihood of being in energy poverty in some countries, the intensity of this condition can be severe. Unemployment, disabilities and face cuts in social benefits increase the probability of being in energy poverty.
