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.
