Editorial Reviews: Review “This book provides a broad approach to energy economics that, while theoretically based, focuses on empirical results. … the chapters in the book are fairly stand-alone, with little integration between. … For practitioners or students who are looking for stand alone reference chapters on major energy economic topics, this may be a good choice.” (Janie M.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a very well written textbook on energy economics. I used it to review my knowledge on the field and to identify technical gaps. Highly recommend it – it serves more as a graduate level text.

⭐A bit to technical for me but a good book nevertheless
