Abstract
Energy is a fundamental input in modern economies. Its regulation is probably one of the most complex since it is related not only to economic and development issues but also to environmental, geopolitical, and social ones. This entry is using law and economics to inquire into energy regulation, to show the rationale of its regulation and the contemporary challenges it has to face.
