| description |
In the fuel business, smuggling,
adulteration, mislabeling, and short-weighting are
widespread in many developing counties. Not only do these
commercial abuses reduce consumer welfare and government
excise revenue but the combustion of substandard fuels can
have a serious public health impact. This Note looks at how
the structure of the fuel industry affects incentives for
such abuses and shows how some developing countries have
worked to combat the practices. |
