Die Energiewirtschaft am Kaspischen Meer: enttäuschte Erwartungen - unsichere Perspektiven

Engerer, Hella; Hirschhausen, Christian von - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 1998

The growing literature on the potential role of energy resources around the Caspian Sea is dominated by geoplitics whereas economic aspects have been largely neglected thus far. The relevance of Caspian oil and gas reserves continues to be praised, though objective data on production and exports...

Electric Vehicles in Imperfect Electricity Markets: A German Case Study

Schill, Wolf-Peter - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2010

We analyze the impacts of a hypothetical fleet of plug-in electric vehicles on the imperfectly competitive German electricity market with a game-theoretic model. Electric vehicles bring both additional demand and additional storage capacity to the market. We determine their effects on prices,...

Stationarity Changes in Long-Run Fossil Resource Prices: Evidence from Persistence Break Testing

Zaklan, Aleksandar; Abrell, Jan; Neumann, Anne - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2011

This paper considers the question of whether changes in persistence have occurred during the long-run evolution of U.S. prices of the non-renewable energy resources crude oil, natural gas and bituminous coal. Our main contribution is to allow for a structural break when testing for a break in...

From Boom to Bust?: A Critical Look at US Shale Gas Projections

Richter, Philipp M. - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2013

US shale gas production is generally expected to continue its fast rise. However, a cautious evaluation is needed. Shale gas resource estimates are potentially overoptimistic and it is uncertain to which extent they can be produced economically. Moreover, the adverse environmental effects of...

Two Price Zones for the German Electricity Market: Market Implications and Distributional Effects

Egerer, Jonas; Weibezahn, Jens; Hermann, Hauke - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2015

We discuss the implications of two price zones, i.e. one northern and southern bidding area, on the German electricity market. In the northern zone, continuous capacity additions with low variable costs cause large regional supply surpluses in the market dispatch while conventional capacity...

Modeling Storage and Demand Management in Electricity Distribution Grids

Schröder, Andreas; Siegmeier, Jan; Creusen, Murk - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2011

Storage devices and demand control may constitute beneficial tools to optimize electricity generation with a large share of intermittent resources through inter-temporal substitution of load. We quantify the related cost reductions in a simulation model of a simplified stylized medium-voltage...

Market Power, Fuel Substitution and Infrastructure: A Large-Scale Equilibrium Model of Global Energy Markets

Huppmann, Daniel; Egging, Ruud - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2014

Assessing and quantifying the impacts of technological, economic, and policy shifts in the global energy system requires large-scale numerical models. We propose a dynamic multi-fuel market equilibrium model that combines endogenous fuel substitution within demand sectors and in power...

Endogenous Investment Decisions in Natural Gas Equilibrium Models with Logarithmic Cost Functions

Huppmann, Daniel - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2012

The liberalisation of the natural gas markets and the importance of natural gas as a transition fuel to a low-carbon economy have led to the development of several large-scale equilibrium models in the last decade. These models combine long-term market equilibria and investments in...

Elasticities of Supply for the US Natural Gas Market

Ponce, Micaela; Neumann, Anne - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2014

In this paper we investigate natural gas producer's reactions to changes in market prices. We estimate price elasticities of aggregated supply in the most competitive market for natural gas: the United States. Using monthly time series data form 1987 to 2012 our analysis is based on an...

Market Power Rents and Climate Change Mitigation: A Rationale for Coal Taxes?

Richter, Philipp M.; Mendelevitch, Roman; Jotzo, Frank - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2015

In this paper we investigate the introduction of an export tax on steam coal levied by an individual country (Australia …), or a group of major exporting countries. The policy motivation would be twofold: generating tax revenues against the … (based on COALMOD-World) at the lower level. We find that a unilaterally introduced Australian export tax on steam coal has …
