It is well established within both the economics and power system engineering literature that hydro power can act as a complement to large amounts of intermittent energy. In particular hydro power can act as a "battery" where large amounts of wind power are installed. In this paper I use simple...

Studies have shown that many consumers and businesses fail to invest in energy efficiency improvements despite seemingly ample financial incentives to do so - the so called energy & efficiency gap or paradox. Attempts to explain this gap often focus on searching costs, information frictions and...

I make use of an over-dispersed Poisson regression model and the roll-out of a new pro-competition regulatory and tax regime in Norway in the mid-2000's to estimate the effects of industry microstructure and firm-level variables on well drilling. I demonstrate the importance of the...
