The equality implications of tariff design for household gas and electricity, two essential substitutes, present a significant concern for policymakers. In this study, we examine this issue using a sample of household income quartiles across various social groups, exploring the diverse effects of changes in electricity and gas prices. The findings reveal that an increase in gas prices exerts a more pronounced impact on low-income groups compared to an equivalent increase in electricity prices. Our partial analysis indicates that gas exhibits less elasticity, likely attributed to the absence of a suitable substitute in the event of a price increase for this commodity. This observation underscores the lack of energy diversity that is rooted in the critical role of gas appliances in cooking and heating. This phenomenon poses a potential threat to the energy security of Iranian households.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the role of trade by export and import of intermediate and final goods on environmental degradation, and carbon dioxide emission, in the form of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). For this purpose, a panel data set of OECD, and non-OECD countries from 1998 to 2018 was used. According to the results, the EKC was established in all samples. In addition, while with a sample of OECD countries, trade has a beneficial or inverse effect on carbon dioxide emissions; with a sample of non-OECD countries, and that of all countries, a non-beneficial or direct effect from trade on carbon dioxide emissions prevails. Also, an important conclusion is that imports, regardless of the type of goods, had a more destructive effect on the environment than exports in all samples. Therefore, theories supporting beneficial effects of exports, e.g. improving technology, or destructive effects of imports through energy-intensive products, are better explanations of the issue than theories of destructive consumption of energy resulting from exports, or beneficial effects of imports for the environment
