This course explores the theoretical and empirical perspectives on individual and industrial demand for energy, market failures, energy supply and demand, energy markets and public policies affecting energy markets. It discusses aspects of the oil, natural gas, electricity, nuclear power sectors, and renewable energy and examines energy tax, price regulation, deregulation, energy efficiency and policies for controlling emission. In addition, we will also consider individual behavioral failures and the implications for policy instruments and their effectiveness.
