We propose a merchant-regulatory framework to promote investment in the European natural gas network infrastructure based on a price cap over two-part tariffs. As suggested by Vogelsang (2001) and Hogan et al. (2010), a profit maximizing network operator facing this regulatory constraint will...

This paper provides a description of ELMOD, a model of the European electricity market including both generation and the physical transmission network (DC Load Flow approach). The model was developed at the Chair of Energy Economics and Public Sector Management (EE2) at Dresden University of...

About 1.4 million refugees and irregular migrants arrived in Europe in 2015 and 2016. We model how refugees and irregular migrants are self-selected. Using unique datasets from the International Organization for Migration and Gallup World Polls, we provide the first large-scale evidence on...
