David RAMBERGAcademic Background:
Work Experience:
Research Domain:energy economics, fossil fuel market integration, the effects of new energy conversion technologies on the energy use profiles of energy-intensive sectors Research Methodology:econometric analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, general equilibrium modeling, discounted cash flow (for calibration purposes). Research Description:D.J. is expanding his previous work on the spot price relationship between crude oil and natural gas by investigating how different factors that may affect the pricing relationship impact market evolution. As an example, his dissertation focuses on how new conversion technologies affect the evolution of the market sector into which they are introduced as well as the other sectors of the economy that use energy - which is all of them. Does a technology that initially appears promising from the economic and environmental perspective continue to appear promising once the interactions between the technology and the economy are tracked through to their ultimate consequences after deployment? |
