Purpose - This study conducts an empirical analysis on gasoline pricing of Korean retail gas stations focusing on spatial effects. Unlike previous studies, the study uses an official land price for a proxy of the importance of location, and also allows the spatial effects from other competing gas stations as well. Research design, data, and methodology - In collection of data, we obtain more abundant data than those of previous studies. The gasoline prices used in the study are 909,084 observations as daily data from January 1 to July 31 of the year 2016. A proxy for the land price is collected by linking official public land price data with address information on each gas station. For the estimation, the study employs the Panel Spatial Dubin Model to make the best use of the collected location information. Results - As expected, spatial properties of gas stations have significant effects on the gasoline price. As the price per square meter increases by 100 thousands won, the price of gasoline rises 9 won per liter. Among other characteristics, the price increases by 16 won per liter if the station has a convenience store, and about 5 won if it has a car wash service. Gasoline price in Singapore accounted for 26% of variations in domestic gasoline prices. SK Energy and GS Caltex are the top brands in terms of price. The study also finds prices and other important properties of competing gas stations have significant effects on others' prices. Prices of competing gas station have a positive relationship with those of others. If a competing gas station raises the price, the gas station also raises the price, and lowering the price lower the price. Among brands, GS Caltex has the greatest downward pressure on nearby gas stations. Conclusions - The study confirms that location value of gas stations affect their gasoline prices, and the prices of the competing gas stations also have a significant effects on their prices. It suggests that the prices in the competing retail areas tend to be synchronized with each other.

동 연구는 휘발유 가격 수준에 따른 국제 유가에 대한 국내 가격 조정의 비대칭성을 분위수 자기회귀시차분포 모형을 사용하여 확인한다. 추정에 사용된 자료는 2008년 5월 첫 번째 주부터 2022년 10월 두 번째 주까지의 주간 평균 두바이유가, 정유사 휘발유가, 주유소 휘발유가이다. 추정은 두바이유가에 대한 주유소 휘발유 가격, 두바이유가에 대한 정유사 휘발유 가격, 정유사 휘발유 가격에 대한 주유소 가격의 변화, 세 가지에 대해 이루어졌다. 추정 결과, 두바이유가에 대한 정유사 휘발유 가격의 조정은 휘발유 가격의 모든 분위에 걸쳐 비대칭적으로 나타난 반면 두바이유가와 정유사 휘발유 가격에 대한 주유소 가격의 조정은 휘발유 가격의 분위수가 높을수록 비대칭적으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 휘발유 가격 변화에 따른 주유소의 재고 비용 변화에 기인하는 것으로 추측된다. 재고 비용에 대한 부담이 높을수록 주유소에게는 상승한 휘발유의 매입가격을 보다 적극적으로 판매가격에 전가하고자 하는 유인이 있다.

This paper investigates effect of gasoline price liberalization on price elasticity of gasoline demand. By using a model where a consumer optimizes her gasoline consumption and number of visits to gas station, we derive price elasticity of gasoline demand and its response to variation of size and frequency in price changes. It shows that price elasticity is decreased with increase in the size and frequency when the price rises. Since price liberalization increases the frequency but reduces the size, the effect of the liberalization on the price elasticity may not be determined. However, price liberalization can make the elasticity higher when the size reduction effect exceeds the frequency increase effect, which is consistent with empirical evidence provided by existing studies.

This paper analyzes competition among service stations in the Korean gasoline market. We consider spatial differentiation as a source of product differentiation as well as the characteristics of the stations and vertical contracts between refiners and retailers as factors causing changes in equilibrium prices in the Korean gasoline retail market. The effect of the government's price disclosure policy on the retail market competition is also analyzed. Moran's I test indicates that the prices of neighboring gas stations are spatially correlated in the market. It is also found that gasoline prices for vertically integrated stations are much lower than those for independent stations. In addition, unbranded stations charge lower prices than branded stations but also induce branded stations to price more competitively. Meanwhile, the government's price disclosure policy did intensify price competition in the retail gasoline market. It is inferred that the price disclosure policy contributed to retailers gaining more bargain power in price negotiation with refiners, causing an eventual increase in retail prices.

Purpose - This study examines the effects of Dubai oil price and the volatility on the asymmetry of domestic gasoline price adjustment. Additionally, the study investigates the effects of "Altteul" gas-station and tax-cut policies on asymmetry. Design/methodology/approach - Firstly, the study calculates proxies for asymmetry and volatility of each window(every 3-month) by error-correction model and GARCH(1, 1) using daily domestic gas price and Dubai oil price from 2008/04/15 to 2022/12/31. Secondly, the study investigates the effects of the increasing rate of Dubai oil price, volatility, "Altteul" gas-station and tax-cut policies on asymmetry. The autoregressive distributed lag regression model is employed for estimations. Findings - The study finds that changes in the increasing rate of Dubai oil price and both types of volatility of Dubai oil price increase asymmetry. While "Altteul" gas-station and tax-cut policies decrease asymmetry. Additionally, the study fails to find that asymmetry in the Korean gasoline market in the estimation with total observations. Research implications or Originality - An increase in Dubai oil price volatility means an increase in cost uncertainty for gas-station owners. Since cost uncertainty is a kind of financial risk, the increase in volatility reinforces the asymmetry. The study provides supporting evidence for the idea.

본 연구는 국제 원유가격의 변동에 따른 수송용 유류제품 가격의 비대칭성(rockets and feather)을 오차수정모형을 사용하여 분석한다. 회귀분석결과에 따르면, 모든 수송용 유류제품에서 비대칭성 현상이 일관성 있게 나타났으며, 특히 고급휘발유에서는 타 유종에 비해서 비용 상승기와 비용 하강기에 모두에서 비용의 변화의 충격에 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 추정되었다. 이는 비용상승기의 경우, 마진이 높은 고급휘발유의 특성상, 이를 빠르게 반영하는 것은 이윤극대화를 추구하는 기업의 합리적인 반응일 것으로 추정된다. 그러나 비용이 하락할 경우에 고급휘발유가 타 유종에 비해서 빠르게 하락하는 현상은, 고급휘발유 가격이 상승할 때, 일반휘발유로 이동했던 소비자들과 고급휘발유에 대한 잠재적 수요를 가진 일반 휘발유 소비자들을 고급휘발유 소비로 끌어들일 수 있는 유인이 존재하기 때문으로 판단된다.

This paper estimates the gasoline price elasticities of demand for automobile fuel efficiency in Korea to examine indirectly whether the government policy of raising fuel prices is effective in inducing less consumption of fuel, relying on a hedonic technique developed by Atkinson and Halvorsen (1984). One of the advantages of this technique is that the data for a single year, without involving variation in the price of gasoline, is sufficient in implementing this study. Moreover. this technique enables us to circumvent the multicollinearity problem, which had reduced reliability of the results in previous hedonic studies. The estimated elasticities of dam and for fuel efficiency with respect to the price of gasoline, on average, is 0.42.

This study aims to reveal the influence of price increase in gasoline on household expenditure trade-off. The subjects were 651 households, acquired the first quarter of 1996 and 1997. This study shows the change of the auto fuel budget share in the same household and they were analyzed with the paired t-test, independent t-test. The results are as follows; 1) the price increase of auto gasoline resulted in the increase of its budget share, regardless of a household's true increase or decrease of income. 2) according to price increase in gasoline, the auto fuel budget share has been changed, therefore I divided these changes into three group on the base of it's degree of change. 3) In the group that had a decrease in auto fuel budget share compared to the degree of change, there was a trade-off between the increase in food and light & light water and the decrease of education and auto fuel budget share. Auto fuel in this group was used as discretionary good. 4) In the group that had a similar change in auto fuel budget share compared to the degree of change, there were no trade-off between expenditure items except auto fuel budget share and miscellaneous decrease. This group is the highest income group among the three groups. 5) In the group that had and increase of change in auto fuel budget share compared to the degree of change, there was a trade-off between the increase of eating-out and auto fuel, and the decrease of education and miscellaneous budget share. Auto fuel in this group was used as a discretionary good. 6) trade-off expenditure budget share showed a mixed effect between the influence of increase in gasoline price and influence of increase in true income.

본 논문에서는 우리나라 휘발유 가격의 비선형 동적 조정 과정을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 Threshold Vector Error Correction Model(TVECM)을 사용하였다. 구체적으로는 Hansen (1999)과 Lo and Zivot(2001)이 제안한 부트스트랩(bootstrap)기법을 적용하여 three-regime TVECM의 타당성을 확인한 후 사용하였다. 분석대상은 서울과 각 지역의 휘발유 가격 차이인데 서울-부산, 서울-대구, 서울-인천, 서울-광주, 서울-대전, 서울-울산, 서울-강원, 서울-충북, 서울-전북 등 총 9개 휘발유 가격차이 묶음을 다루었다. 추정결과 우리나라 휘발유 가격 조정과정은 비선형적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 서울-대전, 서울-대구, 서울-울산의 거래비용이 큰 것으로 추정되었다. 거래비용은 지리적 거리에 반드시 비례하지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 수송비용이 거래비용의 주요한 요인이 아님을 의미한다. 거래비용은 공급측면의 경쟁정도에 의존할 것으로 추정된다.
