| Kurzbeschreibung | Doctoral students at ETH Zurich working in the broad area of energy present their research to their colleagues, to their advisors and to the scientific community. | ||||
| Lernziel | Knowledge of advanced research in the area of energy. | ||||
| Inhalt | Doctoral students at ETH Zurich working in the broad area of energy present their research to their colleagues, to their advisors and to the scientific community. There will be one presentation a week during the semester, each structured as follows: 20 min introduction to the research topic, 30 min presentation of the results, 30 min discussion with the audience. | ||||
| Skript | Slides will be available on the Energy Science Center pages(www.esc.ethz.ch/events/frontiers-in-energy-research.html). | ||||
| 363-0514-00L | Energy Economics and Policy It is recommended for students to have taken a course in introductory microeconomics. If not, they should be familiar with microeconomics as in, for example,"Microeconomics" by Mankiw & Taylor and the appendices 4 and 7 of the book "Microeconomics" by Pindyck & Rubinfeld. | 3 KP | 2G | M. Filippini | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | An introduction to principles of energy economics and applications using energy policies: demand analysis, economic analysis of energy investments and cost analysis, economics of fossil fuels, economics of electricity, economics of renewable energy, market failures and energy policy, market-based and non-market based instruments, demand side management and regulation of energy industries. | ||||
| Lernziel | The students will develop the understanding of economic principles and tools necessary to analyze energy issues and to formulate energy policy instruments. Emphasis will be put on empirical analysis of energy demand and supply, market failures, energy policy instruments, investments in power plants and in energy efficiency technologies and the reform of the electric power sector. | ||||
| Inhalt | The course provides an introduction to energy economics principles and policy applications. The core topics are -Demand analysis -Economic analysis of energy investments and cost analysis -Economics of fossil fuels -Economics of electricity -Economics of renewable energies -Market failures and energy policy -Market oriented and non-market oriented instruments -Demand side management -Regulation of energy industries | ||||
| Literatur | - International Handbook on the Economics of Energy by Joanne Evans (Editor), Lester C. Hunt (Editor) - Energy Economics Concepts, Issues, Markets and Governance Bhattacharyya, Subhes C. 1st Edition, 2011, XXVI, 721 p. 267 illus, 83 in color. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | It is recommended for students to have taken a course in introductory microeconomics. If not, they should be familiar with microeconomics as in, for example, "Microeconomics" by Mankiw & Taylor and the appendices 4 and 7 of the book "Microeconomics" by Pindyck & Rubinfeld. | ||||
| 364-0513-00L | Empirical Methods in Energy and Environmental Economics | 3 KP | 2V | A. L. Martinez Cruz, M. Filippini, W. Greene | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | This course is designed for PhD students interested in Energy and Environmental Economics. It is open to advanced Master students from D-MTEC and D-MATH (ETH Zurich). The focus of the lectures is on applied econometrics in the energy and environmental fields. | ||||
| Lernziel | The goal is to present a coherent description of discrete choice modelling (e.g. conditional logit model) and its generalization in the form of count modelling (e.g. Poisson and negative binomial models) and survival analysis (e.g. proportional hazard Weibull model). The contents and discussions put emphasis on real examples and policy applications. The presentations and discussions are based on a selection of recent research papers relevant to the covered topics. In each section of the seminar, the students will have the opportunity of reviewing and presenting some of the relevant papers to the class. | ||||
| Inhalt | Part I: Discrete Choice Models; Professor Greene (16 hours) 1. Binary choice 2. Ordered choice 3. Multinomial choice 4. Multinomial choice and heterogeneity 5. Latent class models 6. Mixed logit Part II: Count and survival; modelling; Dr. Martinez-Cruz (13 hours) 1. Count modelling 1.a Poisson model 1.b Negative binomial model 2. Survival modelling 2.a Parametric survival models (e.g. Weibull) 2.b Semi-parametric survival models (e.g. Box-Cox) 3. Latent class specifications | ||||
| Skript | During the course of the lecture notes will be made available to the students. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Students are expected to have attended a course in advanced microeconomics and advanced econometrics. Students will be required to bring for the lab sessions a laptop computer with the installed software (NLOGIT, STATA, or an equivalent package). | ||||
