Synergistic value in vertically integrated power-to-gas energy systems
Glenk, Gunther; Reichelstein, Stefan - 2019
This paper examines the value that can potentially be created by a vertically integrating energy system. Integration entails operational gains that must be traded off against the requisite cost of capacity investments. In the context of our model, the operational gains are subject to inherent...

A spatial approach to energy economics : theory, measurement and empirics
Moreno Cruz, Juan; Taylor, Michael Scott - 2014
This paper sets out a simple spatial model of energy exploitation to ask how the location and productivity of energy resources may affect the distribution of economic activity around the globe. We combine elements from resource and energy economics into one framework linking the spatial...

The energy community and the grid
Gautier, Axel; Jacqmin, Julien; Poudou, Jean-Christophe - 2023
Renewable energy communities involve various agents who decide to jointly invest in renewable production units and storage. This paper examines how these communities interact with the energy system and can decrease its overall cost. First, we show that a renewable energy community can contribute...

Works councils and environmental investment : theory and evidence from German panel data
Askildsen, Jan Erik; Jirjahn, Uwe; Smith, Stephan C. - 2002
Firms may underinvest in local environmental protection even from the private viewpoint of its owners and employees, but works councils may help mitigate this problem. We show that increases in environmental investments when councils are present could be employee-led, firm-led, or jointly-led....

Behavioral determinants of proclaimed support for environment protection policies
Kauder, Björn; Potrafke, Niklas; Ursprung, Heinrich W. - 2016
Using a representative survey of German university students, we confirm that proclaimed support for environment protection policies depends on socio-cultural factors and political ideology. Unlike most related studies for other countries, we find that the environmental policy stance of German...
