根据UEA领导的一项研究, 低收入家庭在竞争性加油站关闭时面临更高的汽油价格上. Low-income households face higher petrol price increases when rival fuel stations close, per a UEA-led study.
在《工业经济学杂志》上发表的一项由UEA牵头的研究表明,当对立的燃料站关闭时,低收入家庭面临更高的汽油价格上涨。 A UEA-led study published in the Journal of Industrial Economics reveals that low-income households face higher petrol price increases when rival fuel stations close. 低收入地区不能平等地受益于新燃料站的开放和将其收入的较大份额用于燃料。 Low-income areas do not benefit equally from new fuel stations opening and spend a larger share of their income on fuel. 研究表明,竞争减少和市场力量增强对低收入者产生负面影响。 The study suggests that less competition and increased market power negatively impact low-income people.
