"The Quest for Subsidy Reforms in the Middle East and North Africa Region" offers a comprehensive analysis of energy and food subsidies in the MENA region between 2010 and 2014. By applying the World Bank's SUBSIM model, the book examines the distribution of subsidies and simulates reforms in eight countries within a partial equilibrium framework. The distribution of subsidies is analyzed in detail to determine who benefits from the existing subsidies. Furthermore, the results of the reform simulations are presented regarding their impacts on the state budget, household welfare, poverty, inequality, and the associated trade-offs. These insights are crucial for governments to make informed decisions about subsidy reforms and provide consumers with a clear overview of successful programs and reforms. The book also highlights the historical roots of subsidies, the triggers for reforms, and the complexity of the reform processes. It discusses various approaches to reform, including the pros and cons of radical versus gradual approaches, as well as the role of compensation mechanisms and information campaigns.
