The lecture will cover two main objectives: Firstly, the current market developments are presented and analyzed, and secondly, relevant economic concepts and theories will be presented using energy markets as an example. The lecture is split in two blocks. During the fall term the global energy situation and the resource markets oil, natural gas, and coal will be discussed.
