Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The energy production and usage patterns have highly impacted numerous economic markets, including labour and touristic markets. In this context, analyzing the contemporary energy paradigms in context of the multifunctional economy represents a challenge in understanding the new economic paradigms imposed by markets’ globalization and integration processes. 

The recent changes to the global economy have imposed massive transformations on energy production and distribution systems, designing new energy paradigms. The high intensity of energy usage has triggered numerous industrial movements towards new competitive frontiers, including promoting new energy efficiency technologies and multifunctional economic activities, including a reorientation of labor resources. On the other hand, new contemporary sustainable energy paradigms have imposed a sharp relocation of existing industries and implicitly of international capital flows, which will not invest in new industrial production installations, but rather into the regions with lower energy costs and lower CO2 emissions.

The main aim of this Special Issue is to discuss and provide answers to subjects, such as, but not limited to:

  • The influence of the energy paradigm changes on different economic markets (labour markets, tourism markets, etc.)
  • Energy patterns and new production frontiers movements
  • Energy consumptions patterns and economic development
  • Energy and climate change in transitional economies
  • Constraints on ensuring green energy development
  • The performance of different energy paradigms in promoting sustainable investments

The topic of contemporary sustainable energy paradigms and the multifunctional economy is a research subject that has raised numerous debates in the literature. This current Special Issue intends to fill a gap between theory and practice in field of research contemporary sustainable energy paradigms and the multifunctional economy

The editors welcome contributions critically addressing these issues; both theoretical and practical papers capable of providing new insights are welcome.

A Cluster Design on the Influence of Energy Taxation in Shaping the New EU-28 Economic Paradigm

Environmental and energy taxation are essential components for designing global economic policies and they often contribute to achieving the sustainable economic development goals in contemporary economies. Starting from the analysis of certain elements such as the share of environmental, energy, transport and pollution taxation in GDP and using the Hierarchical Clustering methodology, the paper aims to identify economic models of behaviour and to understand the influence of energy taxation in designing an economic paradigm. In addition, another objective of the paper is to deepen the relationships that energy taxation has in designing certain economic models of behaviour and to group the EU-28 Member States based on the specified criteria. The research results confirm that at the EU-28 level could exist elements for achieving energy taxation convergence and that the states should promote a more accurate fiscal policy in order to improve the loss of competitivity caused by an inaccurate energy taxation.

State and regional governments in the U.S. and abroad are looking to market-based approaches to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from the electric sector, and in the U.S. as a compliance approach to meeting the aggressive targets of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Clean Power Plan. Auction-based approaches, like those used in the Northeast U.S. and California, are both recommended strategies under the Plan and attractive to state governments because they can generate significant revenue from the sale of emissions permits. However, given the nature of imperfect competition in existing electricity markets, particularly at the state and regional level, the issue of market power is a concern at the forefront. This paper provides the results from a controlled laboratory experiment of an auction-based emissions market in the electricity sector. The results show that government revenue from auctioning emissions permits is substantially lower when market concentration is only moderately increased. The results hold significant implications for states and other subnational governments that have high revenue expectations from the auctioning of emissions permits. Full article
