Overview

This book provides an introduction to energy economics.

The book covers all types of energy markets, ranging from liquid fuels, gaseous fuels, and solid fuels to electricity. It also addresses emission allowances, energy efficiency, and nuclear risks. The authors discuss the engineering properties of energy technologies  including renewables, the economics of natural resources and environmental protection, market liberalization, and energy trade as well as the experience of the German energy transformation.

Reviews

“This book provides a broad approach to energy economics that, while theoretically based, focuses on empirical results. … the chapters in the book are fairly stand-alone, with little integration between. … For practitioners or students who are looking for stand alone reference chapters on major energy economic topics, this may be a good choice.” (Janie M. Chermak, The Energy Journal, Vol. 40 (6), 2019)
