Yeni Kitap: "Energy Policy Analysis and Modelling"

Energy Policy Analysis and Modelling
by Mohan Munasinghe & Peter Meier

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Series: Cambridge Energy and Environment Series
Paperback: ISBN-13: 9780521063937 (also available in Hardback)
Published: June 2008

Energy plays a vital role in economic and social development. The analysis of energy issues and policy options is therefore a vital area of study. This book presents a hierarchical modelling scheme intended to support energy planning and policy analysis in developing countries. The authors introduce the concept of 'Integrated National energy Planning' (INEP), and examine the spreadsheet models, optimization models, and linear planning models which energy planners use. Environmental considerations are also introduced into the analysis. Techniques are then applied to two important energy subsectors, electricity and fuelwood, before problems of integration and policy implementation are discussed. Throughout the book, the authors examine actual practice in developing countries. Illustrative case material is drawn from Egypt, West Africa, Sudan, Pakistan, Colombia, India, Sri Lanka and Morocco. This book will be of interest to students and practitioners of energy planning, and to those concerned with the wider development implications of energy policy.

• Study of the models used by planners in energy analysis, with special reference to developing countries; this is a vital part of development planning
• Throughout the book case studies are drawn from all over the world to illustrate the models; countries included are India, Pakistan, Morocco, Sudan, Egypt, Sri Lanka
• Munasinghe is an extremely well-known figure in the field; he is chief of Environmental Policy Research at the World Bank

Heal (2008): Climate Economics: A Meta-Review and Some Suggestions

Heal, G. (2008): Climate Economics: A Meta-Review and Some Suggestions. NBER Working Paper No. 13927.

Abstract: What have we learned from the outpouring of literature as a result of the Stern Review of the Economics of Climate Change? A lot. We have explored the model space and the parameter space much more thoroughly, though there are still unexplored regions. While there are aspects of the Stern Review's analysis with which we can disagree, it seems fair to say that it has catalyzed a fundamental rethinking of the economic case for action on climate change. We are now in a position to give some conditions that are sufficient to provide a case for strong action on climate change, but need more work before we have a fully satisfactory account of the relevant economics. In particular we need to understand better how climate change affects natural capital - the natural environment and the ecosystems comprising it - and how these affect human welfare.

"Hidrojen Ekonomisi" Konusunda Türkçe Kaynaklar

"Hidrojen"in enerji ve küresel ısınma sorunları açısından ciddi bir çıkış yolu yarattığına inanan 1970'lerin hidrojen romantikleri bir yana (örn. T. Nejat Veziroğlu), "hidrojen geçmişte geleceğin enerjisiydi/yakıtıydı, bugün geleceğin enerjisi/yakıtı, gelecekte de geleceğin enerjisi/yakıtı olarak kalacak" diye yorum yapacak kadar kötümser olanların sayısı (örn. Ulf Bossel) hiç de az değil. Hidrojen ekonomisi konusunda Türkçe kaynaklardan bilgi edinmek isteyenler şu yayınlara başvurabilirler:
