The Energy Policy and Economics Working Paper Series addresses the economic, policy, and regulatory topics associated with critical energy issues. Papers in this series come from all social science disciplines, and examine topics such as the role of market forces in energy industries, energy consumption behavior, and the political economy of energy regulation.

    The Energy Development and Technology Working Paper Series stresses applied research on scientific and technical energy problems. Research in this series examines topics such as energy resources and supply systems, energy use and conservation, and environmental and health effects.

    The Fundamental Science of Energy Working Paper Series emphasizes basic scientific questions underlying energy issues. Such issues of particular importance to energy systems include, for example, combustion, heat transfer, and properties of materials used in energy systems. 

Unpublished papers (including drafts submitted for publication) by UC researchers are eligible for inclusion in one or more of the Working Paper Series.  UCEI's goal in establishing these Working Paper Series is to disseminate UC energy research to a wide audience of both academic and non-academic people and institutions, and to foster innovative energy research.
