Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The intersection of energy and environmental economics stands at the forefront of addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing society today. As the global community strives for sustainable development and seeks to mitigate climate change, thorough economic analyses and effective policy solutions are essential. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for cutting-edge research that advances our understanding of the complex interactions between energy systems, environmental sustainability, and economic dynamics. We invite scholars from various disciplines to contribute their insights and expertise to this vital discourse.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Energy transition and decarbonization, including equity and income distribution issues.
- Energy policy design and assessment.
- Market-based approaches for energy and environmental governance.
- EEE—energy–economy–environment nexus.
- Economics of climate change mitigation.
- Energy-related behavioral economics.
- Economics of equity and justice in energy.
- Climate policy in theory vs practice—how economic incentives meet political economy.
- Integration of distributed energy resources: What are the challenges and opportunities in integrating distributed energy resources (such as rooftop solar and microgrids) into the broader energy system, and how can regulatory frameworks evolve to facilitate this integration?
