Note: The Lecture "Energy Economics" is only provided in Winter Term.

This lecture is specially designed for students of PEESE. This lecture, held in English, is the equivalent to the former German “Energiewirtschaft”-lecture, yet starting more from the basics. This lecture will give students a fundamental understanding of the functioning, design and analysis of international energy markets. Taking into account the international background of PEESE students, the lecture will focus less on national legislatives but on international developments in the energy sector.

The Lecture provides the theoretical backround:

1. Introduction
2. Energy balance
3. Economic assessment
4. Resources and sustainability
5. Markets for CO₂ emission allowances
6. Markets for liquid energy sources
7. Markets of gaseous energy sources
8. Markets for solid energy sources
9. Electricity Markets
10. Markets for Energy Efficiency
