4th INFER Workshop on Economic Policy

Competition Policy in Energy Markets

September, 19-20, 2003 in Cottbus, Germany

 

Workshop Topics

The issue of competition policy on energy markets is on the agenda of researchers and policy makers since the 1980s when some countries initiated the liberalizing of their electricity markets. Recently, the issue was boosted by the EU-decision to fully liberalize its electricity and gas markets by 2007. However, on a world wide scale and even within the EU different approaches to liberalization and (de-)regulation have been applied. Yet in almost all countries, notably in California, first experience calls for various improvements. The INFER Workshop on Competition Policy on Energy Markets aims at discussing these issues in a broad sense.
