Project description

This project studies the effects of different climate and energy policies on fossil fuel markets. In particular, we will examine to what extent policies that lower costs of renewable energy production and/or Carbon Capture and Storage will lead to lower emissions in the short run. In the second part of the project we will study the oil market, focusing on OPEC. We will estimate both dynamic cost functions and market demand functions, thereby providing a quantified model of the oil market that combines real world historical data with a rigorous theory-based understanding of an OPEC dominated market. Further, using experimental methods, we will study cartel stability in the presence of climate policy.
