Energy is central in our lives. We take it for granted that when we flip a switch the light will come on, or when we plug in our smart phones the battery will begin charging. When we get cold we turn up the heat; when we get hot we run the air conditioner. Fueling stations for our gas- and diesel-powered vehicles are so ubiquitous as to have become mundane. Nearly every imaginable physical good or service we trade in modern markets requires some form of energy to produce, transport, and/or consume. This course examines the economics of energy markets, encompassing the full value chain from production to consumption. We will cover all major primary energy resources, including fossil fuels, nuclear, hydroelectric, and renewables, as well as electricity and transportation fuel markets. Particular focus is given to environmental and health impacts, regulation and industrial organization, and energy policy at both the state and federal levels.
