Energy Economics

"Energy Economics by Professor Peter Schwarz describes and explores the challenges of the world's energy sector. It offers a modern and novel assessment of the operations, economics and management of conventional energy markets and a vivid analysis of the role of renewable energy, nuclear energy, the electrification of the transportation sector, and various government policies and regulations. I enjoyed the book's innovative assessment and focus on the future of energy and sustainability and recommend it to undergraduate and graduate students who care about how the energy sector functions and interacts with the environment, the economy and people's life."

Asher Tishler, professor and former dean of the Faculty of Management at Tel Aviv University.

"Peter Schwarz's Energy Economics is an essential component of the bookshelf for energy economists and, especially, environmental economists who are not steeped in the economics of energy. The second edition includes a number of chapters you can't find anywhere else (e.g., electric vehicles and next generation renewable alternatives). I look forward to using it as a supplement in my courses."John Whitehead, Professor, Department of Economics, Appalachian State University

"Professor Schwarz's 2nd Edition of Energy Economics is the perfect text for an undergraduate energy economics class. It is accessible and clearly applies economic principles to relevant energy topics. This focused text gives students applicable insight by incorporating very recent events in the energy sector, while also giving historical context. The accompanying instructor materials are extremely helpful for faculty who want to teach the subject, even if energy economics is not their main field."
