Advances in Marketing Researches for Sustainable Development of Energy Economic

Dear Colleagues,

The energy economics plays an important role in the national and international economic ecosystems as the energy demand can be found at all levels of the society. It is hard to imagine a reasonable standard of living in the absence of energy, so that households have become one of the most important energy consumers. Energy consumption and demand have been boosted by the widespread use of technology. Moreover, energy demand is strenghten by the consumption of companies in all economic sectors, organizations and public institutions. Consequently, all market players are in fierce competition for a scarce resource.

The importance of energy economics is recognized worldwide, given that one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is dedicated to energy (SDG7), with the aim of “ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all". In this context, the sustainable development of energy economics is becoming crucial. Applying the principles of circular economy, using of renewable energy sources, investing in the development of energy ecosystems and focusing on consumer needs should become priorities for all countries. In achieving these goals, the marketing approach plays an important role, and marketing research is meant to find the best ways to implement development strategies.

This Special Issue aims at putting together new findings that can contribute to enrich the literature regarding the marketing approach in energy economics, both from the demand and supply perspectives. The contributions should not be limited to the issues mentioned above. Other themes of interest in energy economics are welcome!
