Trade with endogenous transportation costs : the value of LNG exports

Oglend, Atle; Osmundsen, Petter; Selland Kleppe, Tore - 2015

This paper investigates the economic value of trade when prices of transportation services are endogenous to cross-market price spreads. This is relevant for liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. LNG transportation capacity is limited in the short-run, and long lead-times are involved in...

UK natural gas : gas-specific or oil driven pricing?

Asche, Frank; Oglend, Atle; Osmundsen, Petter - 2013

In this paper we investigate the time-varying relationship between oil and natural gas in the UK. We develop a model where relative prices can move between pricing-regimes; markets switch between being decoupled and integrated. Our model endogenously accounts for periods where oil and natural...

Modeling UK natural gas prices when gas prices periodically decouple from the oil price

Asche, Frank; Oglend, Atle; Osmundsen, Petter - 2015

When natural gas prices are subject to periodic decoupling from oil prices, for instance due to peak-load pricing, conventional linear models of price dynamics such as the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) can lead to erroneous inferences about cointegration relationships, price adjustments...

Changing electricity markets : quantifying the price effects of greening the energy matrix

Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild - 2022 - Original Version: June 2022, this version: July 2022

We analyse the drivers of European Power Exchange (EPEX) retail electricity prices between 2012 and early 2022 using machine learning. The agnostic random forest approach that we use is able to reduce in-sample root mean square errors (RMSEs) by around 50% when compared to a standard linear...

European market integration for gas? : volume flexibility and political risk

Asche, Frank; Osmundsen, Petter; Tveterås, Ragnar - 2000

Gas exports to the Continent are regulated by long term take-or-pay contracts. The contracts are described and analyzed. We thereafter examine whether the most central European gas market, the German market, is integrated. Are there substantial price differences between gas from different export...

Energy taxes and natural gas demand in EU-countries

Asche, Frank; Osmundsen, Petter; Tveterås, Ragnar - 2001

Producers or consumers faced with an increase in taxes are usually able to shift parts of it to other levels in the value chain. We examine who is actually bearing the burden of increased energy taxes in the EU-area - consumers or exporters. Traditional tax incidence theory presumes spot...

Unconventional gas and the European Union : prospects and challenges for competitiveness

Vollebergh, Herman R. J.; Drissen, Eric - 2014

This article studies the likely impact of unconventional gas developments in the U.S. on EU competitiveness. We find, first of all, little evidence for a prosperous unconventional gas development in Europe. Second, the U.S. boom has already a strong impact on both world and European energy...
