The paper considers a SUTSE model embedded in a dynamic framework to estimate an energy cost share model for the Italian economy in an evolutionary environment. This is achieved by allowing stochastic seasonal and trend components in the long-run specification and constructing an error...

Within this paper an oligopolistic German electricity market is modelled by a game theoretic modelling tool representing a Nash equilibrium. Due to European electricity market liberalisation electricity producing and trading firms react strategically like global market players by joining and...

Die EU wollte den europäischen Energiebinnenmarkt noch im Jahr 2014 vollenden. Doch dürfte dieses Ziel deutlich verfehlt werden. Die Energiemärkte der Mitgliedstaaten bleiben insbesondere wegen unterschiedlicher mitgliedstaatlicher Regulierungseingriffe sehr heterogen. Für eine stärkere...

Energy market liberalization and international economic interdependence have affected governments' ability to react to security of supply challenges. On the other side, whereas in the past security of supply was largely seen as a national responsibility, the frame of reference has increasingly...

We develop an economic model for fossil-fuel and carbon-free energy supply and demand with capital and labor as production factors, and endogenous technological change through learning by research and learning by doing. We use the model to study inter-temporally efficient carbon taxes for...

We develop an economic partial equilibrium model for energy supply and demand with capital and labor as production factors, and endogenous technological change through learning by research and learning by doing. Our model reproduces the learning curve typical for (bottom-up) energy system...

Despite political activities to foster a low-carbon energy transition, Germany currently sees a considerable number of new coal power plants being added to its power mix. There are several possible drivers for this "dash for coal", but it is widely accepted that windfall profits gained through...

Hintergrundinformationen und Handlungsempfehlungen für eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung der Energiewende. - Die in Deutschland im Zuge der Energiewende eingeführten bzw. intensivierten politischen Maßnahmen (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz - EEG) haben vorwiegend die verstärkte Nutzung der...
