Economic Analysis and Policies in the Energy Sector

The aim of this Special Issue is to consider economic analysis in terms of the most up-to-date and advanced empirical and theoretical methods applied to energy problems. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to feature the theoretical and empirical practice of sustainable policy performance measurement. The progress of the green economy includes methodological issues in order to indicate and present spatio-temporal patterns of resource and energy use and associated pollution. Results will be discussed in support of sustainable energy policies. This Special Issue seeks the methodological framework to contribute to sustainable energy policy development, provide energy policy initiatives targeted to socio-economic goods/benefits, to capture sustainability obstacles and negative environmental impacts, and highlight links and interactions between economic and environmental systems. The expected outcome is to set targets, propose models for sustainable growth and energy policies, and analyze policy interactions.
