Energy Systems Integration: Economic Considerations for a New Paradigm (2019)
Journal Article
Jamasb, T., & Llorca, M. (2019). Energy Systems Integration: Economic Considerations for a New Paradigm. Economics of Energy & Environmental Policy, 8(2), 7-28. https://doi.org/10.5547/2160-5890.8.2.tjam

Energy Systems Integration (ESI) is an emerging paradigm emanating from a whole system perspective of the energy sector. It is based on a holistic view in which the main energy carriers are integrated to achieve horizontal synergies and efficiencies...

Have Model, Will Reform? Assessing the Outcomes of Electricity Reforms in Non-OECD Asia (2018)
Journal Article
Sen, A., Nepal, R., & Jamasb, T. (2018). Have Model, Will Reform? Assessing the Outcomes of Electricity Reforms in Non-OECD Asia. The Energy Journal, 39(4), 181-209. https://doi.org/10.5547/01956574.39.4.asen

Non-OECD Asian economies comprise about 34% of world primary energy demand, 60% of population and 65% of the world's poor, and will account for more than 60% of the total increase in energy consumption between 2015 and 2040. Energy sector reforms in... Read More about Have Model, Will Reform? Assessing the Outcomes of Electricity Reforms in Non-OECD Asia.

A Spatial Stochastic Frontier Model with Omitted Variables: Electricity Distribution in Norway (2018)
Journal Article
Orea, L., Álvarez, I., & Jamasb, T. (2018). A Spatial Stochastic Frontier Model with Omitted Variables: Electricity Distribution in Norway. The Energy Journal, 39(3), 93-116. https://doi.org/10.5547/01956574.39.3.lore

An important methodological issue in efficiency analysis for incentive regulation of utilities is how to account for the effect of unobserved cost drivers such as environmental factors. We combine a spatial econometric approach with stochastic fronti... Read More about A Spatial Stochastic Frontier Model with Omitted Variables: Electricity Distribution in Norway.

Electricity Cooperation in South Asia: Barriers to Cross-Border Trade (2018)
Journal Article
Singh, A., Jamasb, T., Nepal, R., & Toman, M. (2018). Electricity Cooperation in South Asia: Barriers to Cross-Border Trade. Energy Policy, 120, 741-748. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2017.12.048

The South Asia Region (SAR) continues to face electricity shortages, underinvestment and challenges to improve energy access. Strengthening cooperation for cross-border electricity trade in South Asia makes it possible for the region to take advantag...

Small Systems, Big Targets: Power Sector Reforms and Renewable Energy in Small Systems (2018)
Journal Article
Nepal, R., Jamasb, T., & Sen, A. (2018). Small Systems, Big Targets: Power Sector Reforms and Renewable Energy in Small Systems. Energy Policy, 116, 19-29. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2018.01.013

There is some consensus that the traditional energy-only electricity markets, where prices are based on system marginal cost, cannot function efficiently with both fossil fuels and renewables, resulting in market disruptions and price volatility. Con... Read More about Small Systems, Big Targets: Power Sector Reforms and Renewable Energy in Small Systems.

Smart Electricity Distribution Networks, Business Models, and Application for Developing Countries (2017)
Journal Article
Jamasb, T., Thakur, T., & Bag, B. (2018). Smart Electricity Distribution Networks, Business Models, and Application for Developing Countries. Energy Policy, 114, 22-29. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2017.11.068

The electricity distribution industry in the developing world is dominated by public sector utilities. These utilities are technically and economically inefficient and face large financial losses that prevent further development of the networks. The...

Regulating Heterogeneous Utilities: A New Latent Class Approach with Application to the Norwegian Electricity Distribution Networks (2017)
Journal Article
Orea, L., & Jamasb, T. (2017). Regulating Heterogeneous Utilities: A New Latent Class Approach with Application to the Norwegian Electricity Distribution Networks. The Energy Journal, 38(4), 101-127. https://doi.org/10.5547/01956574.38.4.lore

Since the 1990s, electricity distribution networks in many countries have been subject to incentive regulation. The sector regulators aim to identify the best performing utilities as frontier firms to determine the relative efficiency of firms. This...

A Quarter Century Effort Yet to Come of Age: A Survey of Electricity Sector Reform in Developing Countries (2017)
Journal Article
Jamasb, T., Nepal, R., & Timilsina, G. (2017). A Quarter Century Effort Yet to Come of Age: A Survey of Electricity Sector Reform in Developing Countries. The Energy Journal, 38(3), 195-234. https://doi.org/10.5547/01956574.38.3.tjam

More than two decades have passed since the start of the worldwide market-oriented electricity sector reforms. The reforms have varied in terms of structure, market mechanisms, and regulation. However, the passage of time calls for taking stock of th... Read More about A Quarter Century Effort Yet to Come of Age: A Survey of Electricity Sector Reform in Developing Countries.

Energy efficiency and rebound effect in European road freight transport (2017)
Journal Article
Llorca, M., & Jamasb, T. (2017). Energy efficiency and rebound effect in European road freight transport. Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 101, 98-110. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tra.2017.05.002

Energy efficiency has become a primary energy policy goal in Europe and many countries and has conditioned the policies towards energy-intensive sectors such as road freight transport. However, energy efficiency improvements can lead to changes in th... Read More about Energy efficiency and rebound effect in European road freight transport.
