This book provides an introduction to energy economics. It shows how to apply general economic theory as well as empirical and advanced econometric methods to explain the drivers of energy markets and their development. Readers learn about the specific properties of energy markets as well as the physical, technological, environmental, and geopolitical particularities of energy sources and products. The book covers all types of energy markets, ranging from liquid fuels, gaseous fuels, and solid fuels to electricity. It also addresses emission allowances, energy efficiency, and nuclear risks. The authors discuss the engineering properties of energy technologies including renewables, the economics of natural resources and environmental protection, market liberalization, and energy trade as well as the experience of the German energy transformation. This book will serve students as a textbook and practitioners as a reference for their understanding of energy markets and their development.

Die Sicherung der Energieversorgung gehoert zu den zentralen Herausforderungen moderner Zivilisationen. Allerdings greifen solche Antworten zu kurz, die das interessengeleitete Handeln der wesentlichen Akteure ausser Acht lassen. Deshalb behandelt das Buch die Gesetzmassigkeiten der Energiemarkte unter Ruckgriff auf industrie- und institutionenoekonomische Theorien. Wo immer moeglich werden die theoretisch hergeleiteten Voraussagen anhand statistischer Evidenz gepruft. Auch die technisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Bedingungen werden stets berucksichtigt.

Fur die nachhaltige Losung der Energieversorgungsproblematik greifen aus okonomischer Sicht alle Antworten zu kurz, die nicht das interessengeleitete Handeln der wesentlichen Akteure berucksichtigen. Deshalb behandelt das Buch die nachfrage- und angebotsseitigen Gesetzmassigkeiten der verschiedenen Energiemarkte, und zwar unter Ruckgriff auf industrie- und institutionenokonomische Theoriebausteine. Wo immer moglich werden die theoretisch hergeleiteten Voraussagen durch die Konfrontation mit statistischer Evidenz auf ihre Praxisrelevanz gepruft.
