A comparison between shale gas in China and unconventional fuel development in the United States : health, water and environmental risks
Farah, Paolo D.; Tremolada, Riccardo - 2013
China is appraised to have the world's largest exploitable reserves of shale gas, although several legal, regulatory, environmental and investment-related issues will likely restrain its scope. China's capacity to successfully face these hurdles and produce commercial shale gas will have a...

System integration of wind and solar power in integrated assessment models : a cross-model evaluation of new approaches
Pietzcker, Robert C.; Ueckerdt, Falko; Carrara, Samuel; … - 2017
and solar in power systems, but rather rely on parameterized modeling approaches. In the ADVANCE project, six … international modeling teams have developed new approaches to improve the representation of power sector dynamics and VRE … integration in IAMs. In this study, we qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the last years’ modeling progress and study the …

A simple framework for climate-change policy under model uncertainty
Athanasoglou, Stergios; Bosetti, Valentina; Drouet, Laurent - 2016
existing work is the adoption of a "satisficing", as opposed to optimizing, modeling approach. Along these lines, we place …

Interpreting the oil risk premium : do oil price shocks matter?
Valenti, Daniele; Manera, Matteo; Sbuelz, Alessandro - 2018
This paper provides an analysis of the link between the global market for crude oil and oil futures risk premium at the aggregate level. It off ers empirical evidence on whether the compensation for risk required by the speculators depends on the type of the structural shock of interest....

Modelling the global price of oil : is there any role for the oil futures-spot spread?
Valenti, Daniele - 2018
In this work, we propose an analysis of the global market for crude oil based on a revised version of the Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) model introduced by Kilian and Murphy (2014). On this respect, we replace the global proxy for above-ground crude oil inventories with the oil...

European power struggles : can EU’s decarbonisation agenda break the state-company axis in the power sector?
Sattich, Thomas; Ydersbond, Inga; Scholten, Daniel - 2015
Europe's power system is still marked by a distinct national component, and despite some regions with strongly integrated power systems, electricity supply today still has a largely national basis. Policies to decarbonise the power sector may fundamentally alter this situation, because power...

Carbon price and wind power support in Denmark
Gavard, Claire - 2015
This paper aims at characterizing the conditions of wind power deployment in order to infer a carbon price level that would provide wind power with comparable advantage over fossil fuel technologies as effective wind support policies. The analysis is conducted on Danish data from 2000 to 2010,...

Energy efficiency policy with price-quality discrimination
Nauleau, Marie-Laure; Giraudet, Louis-Gaëtan; Quirion, … - 2015
We compare a range of energy efficiency policies in a durable good market subject to both energy-use externalities and price-quality discrimination by a monopolist. We find that the social optimum can be achieved with differentiated subsidies. With ad valorem subsidies, the subsidization of the...

Residential consumption of gas and electricity in the US : the role of prices and income
Alberini, Anna; Gans, Will; Velez-Lopez, Daniel - 2011
We study residential demand for electricity and gas, working with nationwide household-level data that cover recent years, namely 1997-2007. Our dataset is a mixed panel/multi-year cross-sections of dwellings/households in the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the United States as of 2008. To our...
