Education

The Center for Energy Policy and Economics encompasses the chair of 
Professors Filippini. The center's research and teaching activities are in applied microeconomics. Professor Filippini works in empirical models applied to regulation and production economics as well as consumer choices and economic valuation of non-market goods. 

Undergraduate and Masters Courses

Courses offered through CEPE are primarily intended to introduce ETH 
students to energy economics.  Professor Filippini teaches Principles of 
Microeconomics during the fall semester.  This is a core course for the MTEC Master program. He also teaches Empirical Methods in Energy Economics during the spring 
semester which is offered as an elective course. 

CEPE staff regularly teach courses in their areas of expertise.  Senior 
Researcher Mehdi Farsi teaches a course in Statistics for 
Business and Economics and a course in Industrial 
Organization.

Doctoral Courses and Seminars

At the PhD level, Professor Filippini organizes a block course in 
Empirical Methods in Energy and Environmental Economics. This course is organized every other year in the Fall semester and features 
lectures by Professor Anna Alberini 
from the University of Maryland in valuation of environmental goods. 
Professor Bill Greene from New York University teaches a short course in connection with CEPE, focusing on the application of discrete choice models and stochastic frontier analysis in health economics.
