Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, there has been a growing research interest in tackling various environmental problems, with associated findings related to empirical applications and their policy implications. The aim of this Special Issue is to consider economic analyses in terms of the most updated and advanced empirical and theoretical methods applied to energy problems.
The main purpose of this Special Issue is to feature the theoretical and empirical practice of sustainable policy performance measurements. The progress of the green economy includes methodological issues in order to indicate and present spatio-temporal patterns of resource and energy use and its associated pollution. Results will be discussed in support of sustainable energy policies. This Special Issue seeks the methodological framework to contribute to sustainable energy policy development, provide energy policy initiatives targeted to socio-economic goods/benefits to capture sustainability obstacles and negative environmental impacts, and to highlight the links and interactions between economic and environmental systems.
The expected outcome is to set targets, propose models for sustainable growth and energy policies, and analyze policy interactions. Potential contributors include researchers and specialists in energy economics and policies.
Prof. Dr. George Halkos
