Full Description
This fine collection of original essays is in recognition of Colin Robinson, who has been at the forefront of thinking in energy economics for over 30 years. Energy in a Competitive Market brings together both prominent academics and practitioners to honour his outstanding and unique contribution. The authors cover a wide and fascinating selection of topics incorporating the whole spectrum of energy economics. In doing so, they examine the belief that markets are the key to the effective allocation of resources, a notion which arguably applies as much to energy as it does to any other commodity. In particular, they focus on several pertinent issues including:
competition and regulation in gas and electricity
comparative efficiency analysis (yardstick competition) in electricity regulation
UK coal in competitive markets
vertical integration in the oil industry
cluster developments in the UK continental shelf
modelling underlying energy demand trends
emissions targets, environmental Kuznets curves and incentive mechanisms.
Colin Robinson's work on the economics of energy has influenced the thinking of academics, researchers and policymakers alike. This book, in his honour, will undoubtedly do the same.
