The Economics of Natural Gas: New Research Perspectives for a Rapidly-Cha...
Informations sur l'événement
Description
The natural gas market seems to be at a crossroad. The emergence of new supply sources, the comeback of coal and the deployment of intermittent power generation, the decline of domestic production in the EU and the severe fall in oil and gas prices are the new drivers of the economics of gas. Despite these changes, gas is and will remain a central pillar of the world energy mix. The first edition of this international conference, organized by the Chair on the Economics of Natural Gas, will shed lights on these new issues, by bringing together researchers in economics, finance and econometrics.

Organisateur de The Economics of Natural Gas: New Research Perspectives for a Rapidly-Changing World
The Chair on "The Economics of Natural Gas" (ENG Chair) is a joint initiative of Paris Dauphine-PSL University, IFP School, Mines Paris Tech-PSL University, and Toulouse School of Economics and DIW. It is sponsored by EDF, GRTGaz, and TOTAL.
The objective of the ENG Chair is to promote research and education on the economics of natural gas.
The research topics on which the research activity of the Chair focusses on are as follows:
- The role of natural gas in the European Energy Transition;
- The Regulation and the Market Design of the European Gas Industry;
- The economic and econometric analysis of the market and transportation data in European countries.
