The goal of the Energy and Climate Economics area of the CESifo research network, organised by Michael Hoel, University of Oslo, is to promote cooperation on theoretical and empirical research on all economic issues related to energy markets, climate change, and climate policy. Concerns about future climate change have increased significantly since the beginning of this century, and are likely to be strong also in the coming decades. Our interests span a wide range of fields including the design of climate policies and climate agreements, the promotion of renewable energy, and the functioning of fossil fuel markets. Policy intervention in the functioning of energy markets is often motivated by climate concerns, and an important aim of research in this area is to improve our understanding of the climate implications of various policies, both for policies that have climate change as their primary concern and policies with other primary objectives (such as e.g. energy security). Assistant to this area is Janina Ketterer.
Born in 1947, Michael Hoel is Professor of Economics at the University of Oslo.
