Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy markets are places where the trade and distributions of energy resources happen, while energy economies study the complex interplay in those markets, including the production, consumption, and management of energy. Traditionally, the dynamics of energy production and demand, the integration and utilization of energy resources, and the evolution of energy technologies have been the key determinants of energy markets and economies. These factors have shaped the infrastructure, policies, and practices within the energy sector. However, the landscape of energy markets and energy economies is undergoing a transformation driven by new forces. The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and other smart technologies is revolutionizing the way energy is supplied and consumed. Additionally, global events and economic/political instabilities are causing fluctuations in energy markets, with supply chains being tested and market mechanisms being challenged. The role of international and regional carbon trading systems is also becoming increasingly significant in regulating energy markets. Therefore, there is a pressing need for comprehensive and multidisciplinary research into energy markets and energy economies.
Researchers should aim to understand the complex interactions in energy markets considering traditional and emerging factors, assess the implications of technological advancements, or develop strategies to navigate energy markets’ volatility due to global events and regulatory frameworks.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include the following:
- Energy market structures and dynamics;
- Energy market price prediction;
- Economic implications of high renewable energy penetration;
- AI and energy economies;
- Economic impact of sustainable energy policies and regulations;
- Behavioral economics in energy consumption;
- Energy market volatility and risk management;
- Carbon trading and energy economics;
- Energy markets and the circular economy;
- Energy efficiency and environmental economics;
- Energy transformation and carbon emission for economic sectors;
- Green technology and emissions.
